Twenty-seven years ago the university of Kansas received a grant for mammals, and exploration value at $200,000. from the late 1960s.
Today, according to Carol Chitendon, associate special collections librarian, the Ellis Collection is "priceless."
Chitendon's job is cataloging that portion of the Ellis Collection located in Spencer Library.
"Some of the collection is in Watson Library and part is in the KU Museum of Natural History," said Chitenden.
She explained the goal of cataloging the Ellis Collection to make it more accessible to those who wished to use it important books," Chitendon said, "and because they are bibliographically complex, making it accessible a lifetime project."
Professor Robert M. Mengel, curator of the Museum of Natural History at the University of California "Catalogue of the Ellis Collection of Ornithological Books in the Kingdom of Kanaa" published this year. The book has published this year, and although it lists only those books whose author's last name includes with A or B, it has 259 pages.
"Ellis's central idea was birds," said Chiltonen, "and his collection of ornithology books is one of the best in the world."
According to Mengel, Ellis began as an ornithologist and naturalist, which, due to poor health, forced him to collect his book collecting after about 1935. Then, writes Mengel, "for the next ten years these (books) came in at an average rate of 16 books per month, or roughly 185 each month."
The largest single contributor to the ornithological portion of the Elks Collection was British (850), followed by 1801-1811, said Chitenson.
"Ellis bought the Gould Collection in the '30s," said Chitendon.

"from Henry Sotheran and Co., in Great Britain.
'There were 1,500 original
plates,' she said. '3,000 color
plates is the collection.
'and there were examples of all
the different stages of work that
have been done.'
According to Chitendon, researchers come from all over the world to see the Ellis Collection.
"In March of 1971, an Australian Allen McEeny, writing about Gould, spent a month here," she said.
Chitendon said that Ellis had "a remarkable collecting instinct."
"Most of the volumes he bought," she said, "were in very good condition with nice, sound leather binding."
According to Chitendon, Ellis was fooled at least once, however.
"He bought an account of "Cappella," supposedly with marginal notes by Captain Bligh of 'Mutiny of the Bounty' fame. He never did find the money."
According to Chitiendon, the Elsie Collection also includes a firm collection of works on the *Species*. and original letters and manuscripts of John Elsie.
From 1846 to 1850, the U.S. Army testament in a lawsuit on the possession of a library valued, at the time, between $100,000 and $250,000.
Ellis signed a document of May 3, 1945, giving his natural history library to KU.
The library, which had about 65,000 volumes on birds and mammals, was shipped to KU in June 1945 for a three-year loan. Ellis and his wife, Irene Ellis, came to the campus several days earlier. Ellis unpacked some of the crates of books himself.
The library contained the collection of the finest in the world. Drawing, manuscripts and letters from the collection by biographers.
when the library was opened for research.
THE COURT struggle over possession of the library, chronicled the Kansas morgue between KU and Boston. In KU. Douglas County probate court, Judge Frank Gray ruled Ellis was mentally incompetent at time he signed the document linking KU the library on his death.
The case was appealed to the Douglas County district court, where Judge Hugh Means ruled that Ellis had signed a document Ellis had signed on May 31 he rued Ellis knew what he was doing when he signated the document with KU officials, and decided the agreement was a contract to make a will to give KU title to the volumes.
KU attorneys, who believed the document was a will, appealed to the state supreme court. Their suit arose from the possibility that Mrs. Ellis might be able to obtain the necessary payment by KU for the effort and expense involved in housing the library in Strong Hall.
ATTORNEYS FOR Mrs. Ellis presented new evidence to prove Ellis was not mentally competent and could not properly on the date he signed the document. They also cited a Kansas law that gave her permission to her husband before he can will away more than half his property and said Mrs. Ellis was not informed of this time the library was given away.
On Oct. 10, 1949, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled 4-2, with one abstention, that the library be allowed to hold materials Regents. The court held that the agreement and testamentary disposition prepared originally by the Library of the Law School, was a valid contract, that Ellis was mentally component and that Mrs. Ellis was informed of her property rights.

"Mr. Ellis wrote me a letter aturing that he intended to set up a new website for my class, and asked for suggestions. I mentioned several including the following:
"Six months later he phoned and asked if that offer still stood. He said it was not, he referred. He explained about the library. At that time Chancellor Malot was in New York and he told him that he would meet him to meet Mr. Ellis there."
Mrs. Ellis petitioned for a rehearing, but the state supreme court denied it on Nov. 21, 1949.
Finding a suitable definition of "library" sent the University and Mrs. Ellis to court again. On March 28, 1973, a probate court ruled that office equipment belonging to Ellis and a few books designated part of a family library were to be set at auction without a provision of statutory law.

Mrs. Ellis' attorneys said police were called to quell the disturbance and Ellis deliburbed an act of violence by policemen before he was subdued and confined to the county jail. Judge Means ruled Ellis was "a sane man with abnormal interpersonal relations" doing on May 3, 1945. Attorneys said Ellis was dangerous to the life and safety of others and that he violated certain at times to destroy the library, himself his wife and his mother.
