In his book Notre Dame -- 100 Years, Fr. Arthur Hope, CSC, tells the story of Chesterton's lectures at Notre Dame -- his arrival, the impression he made, and the honorary doctorate he received before he left. In his works if not in his person we can regard him not as a mere visitor but as a permanent resident of Notre Dame.
- Chesterton's biographer, Maisie Ward, was also his friend. The Sheed and Ward Family Papers in the Notre Dame Archives contain correspondence and cartoons by Chesterton and a copy of a book he wrote and illustrated, Greybeards At Play.
- On its website, the Jacques Maritain Center at Notre Dame has the full text of a collection of Chesterton's sayings,
Chesterton Day by Day.
- The Notre Dame Archives has a typewritten manuscript of Chesterton's Autobiography.
- Among the Special Collections of Notre Dame's libraries, John Bennet Shaw's G.K. Chesterton Collection contains over 2,000 books and periodicals by or about Chesterton.
