About The Caledon Library & The Library Militant
The Caledon Library serves the Independent State of Caledon. We
maintain a collection of materials for the use of residents and other
interested parties. We also host exhibits, book talks, lectures, and
the occasional donnybrook.
The collecting policies of the Caledon Library have two main foci: the 19th century and Caledon's defining literary genres, Steampunk and Alternate History. Within these areas, we collect, first of all, primary source material: 19th-century novels, nonfiction works, and periodicals, along with materials from earlier eras considered important in the 19th century; and of course defining works in Steampunk and its parent genres. Second, we collect research materials concerning the world of the 19th century and its imagination, and secondary materials useful for studying Caledon's important genres.
This site draws its name from the Chivalric Order of the Duchy of Caledon Primverness. The order was founded by the Duchess of Primverness, who is also the head of The House of Wu, the Library's main source of support. Members of the Order take vows of Literacy, Obstinacy, and Bibliomancy.*
The Independent State of Caledon is located in the virtual world of Second Life.
*For the Order's purposes, Bibliomancy is defined as Divination by jolly well Looking It Up.
