The Gilbert Catalog

The Gilbert Catalog is now available.

Alfred Carlton Gilbert understood curiosity and the passion for building. He also understood selling. His annual catalogs are a history of inventive play... and of marketing. The Eli Whitney Museum, with the support of the Connecticut Humanities Council, will collect, scan, and post a complete Catalog of Gilbert Catalogs.

This archive is still a work in progress. If you have access to loan materials we are missing, please email the webmaster.

The Gilbert Catalog archive is made possible by a grant from the Connecticut Humanities Council.
