 Title:  Thirteenth annual report on historical collections, University of Virginia Library, for the year 1942-43  
 Published:  2006 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: THE introductory essay of this report represents a departure from the recent policy of surveying the year's activities of the Library in the field of manuscripts and other research materials in relation to problems and developments in archives and manuscripts throughout the nation. Instead, an exposition on the accession and arrangement of manuscripts and kindred materials in the Alderman Library has been undertaken. In aiming to show to what degree our system is orderly and practicable we anticipate and invite outside criticism. Such criticism may confirm and supplement our own in the light of experience during the past dozen years. We believe that archivists, curators, and their associates are interested in how the other fellow handles his professional stock-in-trade and how well the public may fare by his service. We hope that other institutions may be willing to provide a view from the inside. Written records on this subject are unfortunately few in number.
