Maine State Library Special Collections
The Maine State Library has always had as one of its primary purposes the acquisition of books and materials about Maine and books by Maine authors. State and town histories, as well as family histories, are well represented in the general collection. The special collections listed below add considerable depth to the library's holdings of Maine materials.
Maine Author Collection
On permanent display in the Maine Room is the Maine Author Collection of more than 10,000 volumes. This collection contains an outstanding representation of works of Maine authors, including those of Madame Sarah Wood of York (1759-1853) Maine's first woman novelist; the complete works of Jacob Abbott (1803-1879) of Hallowell, a pioneer writer of books for children; the historical writings of Jacob's brother John S.C. Abbott (1805-1877), as well as the fiction of two prolific writers of stories for boys, Elijah Kellogg (1813-1901) and James Otis Kaler (1848-1912). Also included are the works of contemporary authors, such as Kenneth Roberts, Stephen King and Carolyn Chute. The idea of a Maine Author Collection originated with Henry Dunnack, a former State Librarian, who in the 1920's began to collect the literary works of Maine authors. For the purpose of this collection, a Maine author is broadly defined to include not only Maine natives but also those who have become Maine residents, or part-time residents and authors writing about Maine . A unique file of correspondence with many of the authors adds to the value and interest of the collection, as do inscriptions in many of the books.

The Origin Of The Family From The Riggs Family by John Beverley Riggs: An examination of various British records reveals that that the name Riggs is traceable to the 13th century. Apparently the surname Riggs, originated from a place of residence. The Oldest form of the name was probably RIDGE. Those people dwelling on the ridge or XXXX took their name from their abode "at the ridge". The name while (either common or uncommon) in many of England's counties became very common in northern England. In the border counties and in Westmoreland, Lancashire and Yorkshire. It is a familiar surname even today. In Scotland, there were numerous families bearing the name.

WORLD OF THE CHILD
Stories: After 1850

The second half of the nineteenth century was the golden age of children's literature in England and the United States. Great writers teamed with great illustrators to produce the books we still consider classics. The industrial revolution led to advances in printing which made books colorful, affordable, and plentiful. The growing middle class, with its increased interest in education, expanded the audience for children's books.
Uncle Tom's Cabin
One of the most influencial books of nineteenth-century America, was first published in book form in 1852. Within a year, simplified editions for children appeared in both the United States and England. In this retelling, portions of the story are in verse. An introduction states: "this little work is designed to adapt Mrs. Stowe's touching narrative to the understandings of the youngest readers and to foster in their hearts a generous sympathy for the wronged Negro race of America."
Tom Brown's School Days.
