ERB Collection
The University of Louisville Library
owns the largest institutional archive of the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The collection contains over 67,000 items ranging in scope from the author's
earliest school books to promotional materials from the 1990s. The Tarzan
myth has proved hardy and long-lived.
The exhibition is on display in the
galleries of the Photographic Archives and Rare Books departments in the
Ekstrom Library on the Belknap Campus of the University of Louisville.
Hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday with hours extended
until 8:00 PM on Thursdays. The galleries are closed on Saturdays and Sundays,
and will be closed December 23 through January 1. For additional information
call 502/852-6752. For Belknap Campus parking information and directions,
call the Visitor Information Center at 502/852-6565. The curator for this
collection is George T. McWhorter.

The National Capital Panthans
The National Capital Panthans, founded
in September 1996, are the Washington D.C., Baltimore, Annapolis and Northern
Virginia area Chapter of the Burroughs Bibliophiles. Meetings are generally
held on the first Sunday of the month and are hosted by various members
in their homes.
There are approximately 50 members
from around the United States and one each from England, Canada and Germany.
The Panthans hosted the 1998 Burroughs Bibliophiles Dum-Dum and the 1999,
2003, 2006 ECOF Gatherings. Generally so many members go to ERB fan conventions
hosted by others that the Panthans can be counted on to assist with registration.
The Panthans are in the process of publishing a book, entitled ERB -
The Second Century, which will include fan-produced fiction, scholarly
deductions and many great illustrations!
To become a member and receive a
monthly newsletter informing you about Panthans activities send your annual
membership fee of $15.00 to:

The Chicago Muckers
The Chicago Muckers organized as a new chapter
of the Burroughs Bibliophiles on Aug. 5, 2006, during an annual convention
for fans of Edgar Rice Burroughs called the ERB Chain of Friendship. All
fans of Burroughs in the Windy City are invited to join this new chapter
of the Bibliophiles. It's mainly a means to get together now and then to
talk about our favorite author. But we also hope to undertake projects
ranging from research of Burroughs' life while he lived in Chicago and
Oak Park, to work on the Dateline Jasoom podcast hosted by Jeff "Elmo"
Long, plus anything else we can think of to promote the works of ERB. For
information on upcoming meetings, check out muckers.panthanpress.com
or contact Jeff at elmo@panthanpress.com

| IN
THE WORDS OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS... |
| " I find that a considerable part of
my work in writing fiction has nothing whatsoever to do with fiction. It
is based upon the belief that highly imaginative fiction, such as I write,
demands the retention of a youthful and elastic mind, to achieve which
one of my principal aims in life is to keep my body physically fit and
my mind responsive to a diversity of simple stimuli. " |
