Donald Wing
Donald Goddard Wing (August 18, 1904 – October 8, 1972) was an Associate Librarian at Yale University from 1939 to 1970, best known for his publication of the bibliographic work ''A Short-Title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and British America and of the English Books Printed in Other Countries, 1641-1700'' (1945–1951), and companion work ''A Gallery of Ghosts; Books Published Between 1641-1700 Not Found in the Short-Title Catalogue'' (1967). Wing's Short title catalogue was a continuation of the earlier ''A Short-Title Catalogue of Books….1475-1640'' (1928) compiled by Pollard and Redgrave. His Short-Title Catalogue became so popular that librarians and booksellers viewed it as an “indispensable tool.”〔Crist, T. J. (1993)." Wing, Donald Goddard." In: Robert Wedgeworth (ed.), ''ALA World Encyclopedia of Library and Information Services'' 3rd ed. (pp. 868-869). Chicago: American Library Association.〕 Books referenced in Wing’s Short-Title Catalogue became known as “Wing-books,” or books in published in the “Wing-period.”〔Crist, T. J. (1993)〕 In 1999. ''American Libraries'' named him one of the 100 most important library leaders of the 20th century.〔Kniffel, S., Sullivan, P. & McCormick, E. (1999)〕
==Background==
Donald Goddard Wing was born on August 18, 1904 in Athol, Massachusetts. From a young age Wing possessed a passion for accumulating literature, which he maintained throughout his life; as a child he “collected the ''Smart Set'' and other ‘little magazines,’” in college he “added a book a day to his collection,” and once upon returning from overseas he smuggled in a copy of the banned book ''Ulysses''.〔Crist, T. J.(1993)〕 Upon graduation of college Wing stated that, “all the seniors were asked what they dreamed of doing, and I said I wanted to read second-hand book catalogues.”〔Donald Wing, 68, Yale Librarian: Compiler of Early English Book Catalogue Is Dead. (1972).〕 Wing’s passion for collecting and cataloguing printed materials contributed to his desire to complete his most famous work, his Short-Title Catalogue.
In the summer of 1930 Wing married Pennsylvania native, Charlotte Farquhar, at Sharon Farm in Sandy Spring, Maryland.〔Donald Wing Weds Pennsylvania Girl: Sharon Farm in Sandy Spring Scene of Marriage of Charlotte Farquhar. (1930)〕 They honeymooned in Europe together, and then returned to the United States to start a family.〔Donald Wing Weds (1930)〕 Charlotte and Donald had two children together, one boy and one girl.〔Donald Wing, 68 (1972)〕
