Marion E. Wade Center

The Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College (Illinois) is a special research collection of papers, books, and manuscripts, primarily relating to seven authors from the United Kingdom. Four of them are the Inklings Owen Barfield, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams. The other authors are G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, and Dorothy L. Sayers. The collection also includes materials on Lewis's wife, the poet Joy Davidman. The center is named after Marion E. Wade, founder of ServiceMaster.

The Wade Center serves primarily as a research center, attracting scholars from around the world. It holds at least one copy of every book written by the Wade authors, plus books, articles, and other materials about the writers. It holds the world's fullest collection of Sayers's writings, including 30,000 pages of letters and documents both published and unpublished. For some of the Wade authors, collections of family documents are also available.

The center's museum features memorabilia and changing displays about the authors from its collection of books, letters, manuscripts, and artifacts.
