Skene-Melvin Collection of Crime, Mystery and Detective Fiction

David Skene-Melvin, literary historian and bibliographer, donated his extensive collection of books on Crime, Mystery and Detective fiction to the Popular Culture Program at Brock University in July 2001. Mr. Skene-Melvin's donation is the foundation upon which this bibliographic project was built.

We are grateful to David Skene-Melvin for his generous donation to Brock University, and also to the Crime Writers Association of Canada for their yearly donation of the all of the books nominated in the annual Arthur Ellis Prize competition.
