Method of Acquisition

UCF was one of six state university libraries that arranged to purchase materials on Florida from the Estate of Georgine Mickler, founder and owner, with her husband Thomas, of Mickler’s Antiquarian Books. In 1999 (CFM1999_02), the UCF Library entered into a purchase/donation arrangement in which the library received a collection of books, maps, diaries, sermons, postcards, photographs, and ephemera from the Mickler Estate.
