A little-known part of History Colorado's archives is our small but interesting fiction collection.

February is Library Lovers Month! We're celebrating all aspects of this occasion by featuring a collection of love letters from our archival holdings. History Colorado fans may recall that we in the library enjoy sharing romantic missives from our manuscript collections, as each example we find tells a different story of love and longing. For this month's celebration of love letters in the library, we're featuring our Siglin-Evans collection, MSS #1886.
