Created, edited, and managed by Canadian born, Virginia Scott, Sunbury Press was based in Bronx, New York, from 1974 to 1988. She published the poetic works of women poets, blue-collar poets, minority poets, and others who were not given adequate voice elsewhere (Ms. Magazine, April 1979) For ten years the press also published collections of poems under the title Sunbury: A Poetry Magazine.
There are no restrictions on access, except that the collection can only be seen by prior appointment. Some materials may be stored off-site and cannot be produced on the same day on which they are requested.
Although Brown University has physical ownership of the collection and the materials contained therein, it does not claim literary rights. Researchers should note that compliance with copyright law is their responsibility. Researchers must determine the owners of the literary rights and obtain any necessary permissions from them.
