Digital collection of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, which Whitman edited in the 1840s.

The Feinberg-Whitman collection contains letters, notes, postcards, telegrams, poems, articles, essays, and memoranda written by Whitman; letters written to him by friends and admirers; memorabilia and printed materials; and a variety of draft manuscripts and proofs, many of them annotated and revised by Whitman, demonstrating his creative process and the development of ideas in his prose and poetry. Whitman's private concerns and interests, some of which would later be voiced in his writings, are revealed in diaries, notes, commonplace books, and notebooks.

Walt Whitman memorialized "The vault at Pfaffs where the drinkers and laughers meet to eat and drink and carouse" in an unfinished poem from the early 1860s. The Vault at Pfaff's recaptures the spirit of Whitman's antebellum "trysting-place" by bringing together the art and literature of the United States' first self-described bohemians, including digital editions of the three periodicals many of them regularly contributed to: The New York Saturday Press, Vanity Fair, and The New York Leader.
