Biographical/Historical note

Edwin Wolf 2nd (1911-1991) was a librarian, bibliophile, author, historian, Franklin scholar, and civicleader in Philadelphia. He was born on December 6, 1911 to a German Jewish family in Philadelphia.His father, Morris Wolf, was a founding partner of the law firm Wolf, Block, Schorr and Solis-Cohen.Wolf attended the William Penn Charter School, graduated at age fifteen, and then went on to studyat the Bedales School in England. Upon his return to the United States in 1930, he began working forDr. Abraham Simon Wolf Rosenbach, a famous collector and dealer of rare books, where he learnedbibliographical description and cataloging of rare books.

In 1943, Wolf left the employ of Dr. Rosenbach to join the United States Army and serve in WorldWar II. Under the Army Specialized Training Program, he learned German, then was trained in Armyintelligence. In 1944, Wolf was sent to Europe, where he was responsible for turning in Nazis with arrestwarrants. He also spent part of his service recovering ancient and rare books (including copies of theGutenberg Bible) that had been hidden throughout the German countryside for protection. Wolf left theArmy in 1945 and returned to working for Dr. Rosenbach in 1946.

Upon Dr. Rosenbach’s death in 1952, Wolf joined the Library Company of Philadelphia as a consultantand advisor. He was tasked with surveying the contents of the building (the Ridgeway building at 900South Broad Street) and make recommendations on the future direction of the Library Company. Wolffound that the institution’s collections were of significant research value, and recommended that theLibrary Company cease circulation of its holdings and become a scholarly research library specializing inAmerican history and culture to 1880. He also suggested that the collections be cataloged and moved outof the Ridgeway building, which was in deteriorating condition. Wolf was hired to carry out this plan andwas named Curator of the Library Company in 1953, and Librarian in 1955.

It was in this capacity that Wolf revitalized the Library Company of Philadelphia. He cataloged theinstitution’s holdings according to a classification system devised by Wolf to meet the unique needsof the institution and collection and sold duplicate volumes to earn money to increase the LibraryCompany’s holdings and fill in collection gaps. In 1960, he petitioned the Orphan’s Court to sell theRidgeway building so that the Library Company could build and move into a new building next door tothe Historical Society of Pennsylvania.

As Librarian, Wolf made great strides in promoting the Library Company through his Annual Reports(which showcased new acquisitions and the institution’s achievements) and curated exhibitions. Hecollaborated with the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the American Philosophical Society toproduce catalogs on the subjects of American agriculture, natural history, education, and philanthropy.Wolf’s efforts to revive the Library Company garnered notable donations of books and manuscripts, andalso earned funding from grantors and individuals.

Wolf was also a prolific scholar, historian, and writer. His major publications include A History of theJews of Philadelphia from Colonial Times to the Age of Jackson (co-authored with Maxwell Whiteman), Rosenbach: A Biography (co-authored with John Fleming), and The Library of James Logan ofPhiladelphia, 1674-1751. He served as associate editor for the volume Philadelphia: A 300-Year


- -

History, and wrote and organized the picture book Philadelphia: Portrait of an American City. Wolf wasnamed Lyell Reader in Bibliography at Oxford University for the academic year 1985-1986. The lecturesthat he gave at Oxford (see the Lyell Lectures in Bibliography in Series IIIb) were developed into a bookcalled The Book Culture of a Colonial American City: Philadelphia Books, Bookmen, and Booksellers.The book Library of Benjamin Franklin was published in 2006 (with Kevin J. Hayes), and was basedon Wolf’s extensive research into the library of Benjamin Franklin, which he conducted over his entirecareer.

Wolf was comprehensively involved in the professional field of rare books and bibliography. He helpedfound the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries, served as President of theBibliographical Society of America, served on the Board of the Free Library of Philadelphia, was amember of the American Philosophical Society and the American Antiquarian Society, was chairmanof the Rare Books and Manuscripts section of the American Library Association, and received honorarydegrees from the University of Pennsylvania and LaSalle University.

Wolf was also a civic leader and served with numerous organizations. In the 1940s and 1950s, he workedfor the Community Chest, the United Fund, the Young Men’s and Women’s Hebrew Association, and thelocal Jewish Welfare Board. Wolf acted as President of the Jewish Publication Society of America, theNational Foundation of Jewish Culture, and the Federation of Jewish Agencies of Greater Philadelphia.He was an early board member of Philadelphia’s chapter of Americans for Democratic Action. Wolfreceived the Philadelphia Award in 1982 for his service in the arts in Philadelphia (specifically theMayor’s Cultural Advisory Board).

Wolf married Margaret (“Peggy”) Gimbel Dannenbaum in 1934, with whom he had three children. Peggydied in a car accident in 1964. In 1965, Wolf was remarried to Mary Paxson Matthews, who had fourdaughters, three of whom Wolf adopted. Edwin Wolf died at the age of 79 on February 20, 1991, at hishome in Philadelphia.

are roughly arranged alphabetically by subject, according to a legacy arrangement. Next is a run ofcorrespondence related to Wolf’s talks and publications (subjects include offprints/reprints and researchrequests). Last in the subseries is a run of bound reprints of articles and books, mostly published by Wolf,with some published by colleagues. These include newsletters from the Bedales School and William PennCharter School, yearbooks from summer camp, and articles written by Wolf for several publications,including the JPS Bookmark, Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, The PennsylvaniaMagazine of History and Biography, and Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America.

Processing Information note

The processing of this collection was made possible through generous funding from The AndrewW. Mellon Foundation, administered through the Council on Library and Information Resources’“Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives” Project.

This collection was minimally processed in 2013-2014, as part of an experimental project conductedunder the auspices of the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries to help eliminateprocessing backlog in Philadelphia repositories. A minimally processed collection is one processed at aless intensive rate than traditionally thought necessary to make a collection ready for use by researchers.When citing sources from this collection, researchers are advised to defer to folder titles provided in thefinding aid rather than those provided on the physical folder.

Employing processing strategies outlined in Mark Greene's and Dennis Meissner's 2005 article "MoreProduct, Less Process: Revamping Traditional Processing Approaches to Deal With Late 20th-CenturyCollections," the project team tested the limits of minimal processing on collections of all types and agesin 16 Philadelphia area repositories. A primary goal of the project, the team processed at an averagerate of 4 hours per linear foot of records, a fraction of the time ordinarily reserved for the arrangementand description of collections. Among other time saving strategies, the project team did not extensivelyreview the content of the collections or complete any preservation work.
