Welcome to the Kipling Scrapbooks Digital Exhibit!

This interactive exhibit features high resolution digitized copies of Rudyard Kipling’s “Letters of Marque,” as they were published in the Pioneer Mail in 1887 and 1888, from the scrapbook created by Sir William Garth (1854-1923).

The exhibit includes full-text transcriptions of each ‘Letter,’ an interactive map that plots the locations Kipling visited, and images of various sites in Rajasthan, India. It also links to other scrapbooks dedicated to the life and works of Kipling that are now housed in the Dalhousie Libraries’ Kipling Collection.
