The Gladney Chess Collection
Representing a portion of the personal collection of the late Frank Gladney, this collection contains nineteenth- and twentieth-century books and periodicals, as well as some memorabilia, related to the history of the game of chess. Instruction books, biographies of famous chess players, and issues of American and European chess magazines and newsletters are complemented by a small quantity of ephemeral publications, such as Chess Pie, an international chess tournament souvenir.
