CWN Editor's Note: In an April 15 social media post, the Library of Congress highlighted the life and work of Father Thomas Merton (1915-1968), the author of The Seven Storey Mountain and other works.
“In 2025, the Rare Book and Special Collections Division acquired a Thomas Merton Collection comprising 143 items and containing first editions, uncorrected proofs, artwork, manuscripts, recordings, and portraits of this fascinating figure,” wrote Mark Manivong, who said that his post “includes a short biography of Merton and showcases some of the materials in this new collection.”
