The exhibition for October/November 1998 was called "Catherine Cookson
D.B.E., M.A., D.Litt. (1906-1998). In memoriam",
and was mounted as a mark of gratitude for Dame Catherine's generosity to
the Robinson Library over many years. It included some material she gave to
the Library during her lifetime, such as examples of her novels in English
and translated into various languages, as well as pages from corrected typescripts
of two of her works. Also on display were photographs of a visit she made
to the Library in 1985, together with presentation volumes, covering her many
interests, given to her after conservation work by the Conservation Unit in
the Library's Bindery.
