Charlotte Mason Collection
The Charlotte Mason book collection consists of some 350 books and a number of pamphlets donated from Charlotte Mason College in the 1980s, together with a small number of books already held in the Armitt Library. The books donated by the College fall mainly into the following categories: · Books owned by Charlotte Mason or used in the College in Charlotte Mason’s time. · The Rawnsley Collection donated to the College in 1930. These consist mainly of texts and translations of classical Greek and Latin authors, works on Greek and Roman history, a small collection of works about polar exploration, and some botanical works. · Various books used in the College or by the PNEU in the period after Charlotte Mason’s death in 1923 up to 1960, when the College came under the control of Westmorland County Council. Three lists of the collection have been made (all in alphabetical order): 1. A full list of the whole collection. In this list volumes from the Rawnsley Collection are marked [R], those owned by Charlotte Mason are marked [CM], and asterisked volumes indicate those stored in boxes in the Library storeroom (these are mainly from the third category above); 2. A separate list of the Rawnsley Collection, including volumes not inscribed ‘Rawnsley’ but fairly certainly from this collection; 3. A separate list of books owned by Charlotte Mason, including some books not so inscribed but fairly certainly from her personal possessions.
Books owned by Charlotte Mason The following books are either inscribed by Charlotte Mason or by the donor who gave the book to her, or in a few cases are uninscribed but from the content or other evidence appear fairly certainly to have been the personal possessions of Charlotte Mason. Several other books of a religious nature in the collection may have been the personal property of Charlotte Mason, but the evidence is lacking.
