By far the most specialized portion of the G. Ross Roy Collection consists of editions of the works of Robert Burns and items of Burnsiana. In this area are included not only separate editions of the poet’s works, but also editions with distinctive bindings and variants in layout made from the same plates. Books to 1825 containing selections from the Burns, almost every book-length study of the poet, and books which contain substantial sections about him have been added as well. In the words of one visitor, it is “the best Burns collection in North America.”
