In February our colleagues in Technical Services and Cataloging added 198 items to Special Collections holdings. The tract cataloging project resumed with just north of 150 new items. About 20 A/V items in various formats came into the REST A/V collection. The remainder went into the general rare books collection, the Taylor hymnal collection, and one new bound volume for REST periodicals.
We have a student worker dedicated to working on tracts and pamphlets for REST, and she is back at work. I expect to see many more additions throughout the spring semester. There are also quite a few more A?V items in various formats that will come into our REST and University A/V collections.
Library, Abilene Christian College, 1917. The library was in the Administration Building on the old downtown campus. The Prickly Pear Yearbook for 1917 is available at: https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth39970/m1/44/
Our goal is to build a comprehensive research-level collection of print materials by, for, and about the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement. But beyond assembly and preservation, a collection should be discoverable by those who need the information. Collecting and preserving is only part of our task; those objects must be described and made available. Thanks to the close and careful work of our colleagues upstairs, who describe our holdings, these materials are now discoverable. By discoverable I mean a patron can utilize our online catalog (such as by searching by author, or title, or subject) to find these materials.
