Browne Popular Culture Library

Many collections in the Browne Popular Culture Library are named for people who have collected materials on a certain topic or genre and then generously donated their collections to our library. Some collections are donated posthumously and named in honor of the original collectors. These collections include a variety of topics--everything from Star Trek to mysteries to self-help books.

Arthur and Phyllis Rieser Mystery Collection

This collection includes first editions, early printings and trade editions of mystery and suspense novels, including true crime and fictional crime from about 1880 to the present.
