Goodwin's Turf Guides

Postby steward » Fri Nov 21, 2014 10:01 am

More editions coming online next year. After inquring, I received an email stating the the 1885 through 1890 versions will be scanned and made available sometime in the middle of 2015. They are in the queue, waiting their turn, at U Penn. They are part of a large equine collection that can be accessed here:

I'm still waiting for this to come to fruition :(

It seems as if some work (like the initial steps to index it) has been done, but the last date for any work at all on the Fairman Rogers collection was last March. I periodically check, and will post if anything breaks.

While nothing has been done regarding their Goodwins guides :( , UPenn has disgorged a boatload of digitized 19th Century rare books:

Thanks for the heads up on the mother-lode of choice volumes recently made available.
