Beinecke Library at Yale is a repository for Rachel Carson’s papers, and much more.
Including this beguiling photo of Rachel Carson’s cat investigating the typewriter on which she wrote Silent Spring.

Researchers into Rachel Carson should check the on-line holdings of the Beinecke Library.

My father would have liked that photo…he was the leading historian on American antique typewriters and wrote a book on the subject.
