Acquisition
Since the beginning of the award contest in 2005, all award submissions became part of the G. Edward Cassady, M.D. and Margaret Elizabeth Cassady, R.N. Lewis Carroll Collection of the USC Libraries. To avoid confusion with the Lewis Carroll collection bequeathed to USC by George Cassady, the Wonderland Award projects were removed from that collection and assigned their own separate collection title and number. Each year, the contest submissions are added to this collection following the award ceremony in the spring.
