The Edward Gorey Archives

In 2019, the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust began the long task of developing a working archive of Edward Gorey’s art, manuscripts, correspondence, and other papers in its care. Since that time, a digital collection of more than 3500 images of Edward Gorey’s original art and lettering for books and ephemera has been developed and continues to grow. By the 2025 centennial anniversary of Edward Gorey’s birth, this collection will serve as a fully functioning digital archive and interactive online image library.

Please check back here soon for an illustrated online checklist of Edward Gorey’s primary works. In the meantime, a chronological short-title bibliography may be found here at the Edward Gorey House web site.

The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust is currently acquiring and seeking original art and correspondence of Edward Gorey, as well as high-quality digital images of such materials in private and institutional collections. If you or someone you know would be interested in providing materials for the archive, please contact us.
