The Collection includes works by and about the writer G. A. Henty (1832-1902) and has been put together over a period of seventy years by a private collector.

After an eventful career as a war correspondent, G. A. Henty wrote historical adventure stories for boys. Both his journalistic career and his writing coincided with the period of rapid British imperial expansion during the reign of Queen Victoria.

Details of items in the Collection can be found by searching The University Library catalogue or by viewing a  list of items in the Brown Collection.

  A history of the Collection is available.

The Brown collection is one of several that comprise the University of Worcester Research Collections.
