Find Fables Online

The Carlson Fable Collection has a large presence online. Each digital representation serves a different purpose and provides a unique avenue through which to view the collection. To provide the most direct route to view the Carlson Fable Collection in its entirety, we have created this resource page as your one-stop shop to viewing all things fable online.

Fr. Carlson's Original Fable Website - Fr. Gregory Carlson has been collecting fables for over 40 years, and this website served as his first outlet for sharing his collection with the wider public. Almost every book and artifact that has passed through Fr. Carlson's hands has been meticulously cataloged, described, and uploaded to his website. Fr. Carlson continues to manage and update his website.

This resource is useful for researchers who wish to have Fr. Carlson's perspective on the collection and the books and artifacts that make it up.

The Creighton Digital Repository - The Creighton Digital Repository (CDR) is where Creighton University Archives provides access to the catalog records for over 11,000 books, images of the artifacts in the collection, and a page of Fable Illustrations in the public domain.

This resource is useful for researchers who wish to get a visual representation of the collection. The cataloged books on the CDR include the call numbers for each book, and it is the easiest way to find and locate a book in the collection.

ArchivesSpace - Creighton University Archives uses ArchivesSpace as the main repository for all of its collections, including the Carlson Fable Collection.  On ArchivesSpace, you will find the archival records of the artifacts that make up the Carlson Fable Collection.
