The collection consists of some papermaking equipment (a small Hollander beater and a papermaking vat) which Elliott used for hand papermaking demonstrations, and some related stuff, mostly different raw materials. Though it is a "small" beater, it is extremely heavy, and takes up a good bit of floor space. This material was given to Special Collections in the 1950s as part of the effort to create a Graphic Arts Center at Columbia .
You will need to make an appointment in advance to use this collection material in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library reading room. You can schedule an appointment once you've submitted your request through your Special Collections Research Account.
