Abstract
Fremont Rider was Wesleyan Librarian from 1933-1953. He had worked with Melvil Dewey and had many creative ideas about improving libraries. Some of his projects are controversial today but his proposal for microcards to replace actual books was a forerunner of microfilm and of the digital era. These papers document his efforts in the library world along with his work in writing, editing, publishing and inventing.
