The Preservation Directorate is rightsizing their collection by eliminating titles held within the Library of Congress collection. That means that some preservation research titles will be surplused through the LOC surplus program. I wanted to alert the preservation community who might wish to fill in their own collections on research and preservation publications. This project will be on going for the rest of this year and titles will be surplused on a regular, biweekly basis. The Surplus Books Program is for U.S. libraries only. See http://www.loc.gov/acq/surplus.html for more information about this program. Some Sample titles from the first few weeks of this review are below
Museum Registration Methods by Dorothy Dudley, Irma Wilkinson and others 1968 Safety in Museums and Galleries 1987 Museum Security and Protection: A Handbook for Cultural Heritage Institutions 1993 Manual of Curatorship: A Guide to Museum Practice (1984 and 1992) Caring for Your Collections: National Committee to Save America's Cultural Collections 1992 Conservation of Artifacts Made from Plant Material 1990 Recording, Documentation, and Information Management for the Conservation of Heritage Places 2007 Archival and Special Collections Facilities: Guidelines For Archivists, Librarians, Architects, and Engineers 2009 Archives and Manuscripts: Security 1977 We are reviewing using the LOC classification system so early titles are all from A classification and we will continue through the LOC system.
