Keyes Metcalf and the Founding of The Harvard Library Bulletin Dennis Carrigan In Random Recollections of an Anachronism, the first volume of his autobiography, Keyes Metcalf has told how he came to head the Harvard Library. In 1913 he had joined the New York Public Library, and had expected to work there until retirement. One day early in 1936, however, he was summoned to the office of his superior, Harry Miller Lydenberg, and there introduced to James Bryant Conant, the President of Harvard, who was in New York to discuss with Mr. Lydenberg a candidate to be Librarian of Harvard College, a position that was expected to lead to that of Director of the University Library.

  • The Separate Undergraduate Library
    ELIZABETH MILLS The Separate Undergraduate Library A new phenomenon came into being in 1949 with the opening of the first separate library for undergraduates in a university. Many have now been built, and more are planned. This paper discusses some of the thinking that preceded their development. It analyzes three of them—Lamont, Michigan, and UCLA—in some detail, and speculates as to their future.

  • The Harvard Bindery: a Short History Weissman Preservation Center, Harvard University Library
    The Harvard Bindery: A Short History Weissman Preservation Center, Harvard University Library Sarah K. Burke Spring 2010 The history of bookbinding is the history of a craft that, like printing, began with handmade tools in a workshop and developed into a mechanized industry capable of a tremendous output of product. The field has become so specialized that there is a particular set of materials and practices designed to increase the durability (and thus the longevity) of books and serials for use in library collections: library binding. Although libraries have always bound and re-bound books, standardized library binding procedures are a product of the past 150 years. Practically speaking, a book’s binding makes it sturdier by reinforcing its spine and allowing it to open with minimal damage. It also offers the book’s text block some degree of protection from pests and the elements. Rebinding a book may become necessary if the original binding is damaged or if the text block is falling out of its binding. In the case of serial literature and loose items, binding can keep volumes in order. As early as 1851, for example, Harvard’s early manuscript records were bound together, “for their preservation and for preventing future loss.”1 Consistent colors, fonts, or styles of binding are also useful for arrangement and security of library materials. Despite its many virtues, bookbinding has sometimes led to the destruction of important artifactual information, or to the creation of a tightly-bound book that is easily damaged by users. William Blades devoted an entire chapter of The Enemies of Books to the damage bookbinders have done to the “dignity, beauty, and value” of printed pages.2 Too often in the past, libraries and private collectors have had historically important bindings stripped from books in order to replace them with more elegant or uniform bindings.

  • Library Buildings
    Library Buildings WALTER C. ALLEN AMONGTHE MORE visible changes in the library field during the past one hundred years is the development of the library building-its appearance, arrangement, structure, equipment, and atmosphere. Not only are there many more buildings, they are immensely more complex, varied, and sophisticated. Just as all library materials and services have evolved into new forms and techniques, so have buildings changed to reflect and encourage these new responses to the needs of the various communities and subcommunities which make up our nation. It is the purpose of this paper to examine a century of library architecture in relation to the changing perceptions of library functions, the development of building techniques and materials, fluctuating aesthetic fashions and sometimes wildly erratic economic climates. In an arbitrary fashion which may annoy some, I have divided the century into several periods of unequal length. Naturally, there were exceptions to patterns, and I shall attempt to note the most important (or egregious) of these. First, there will be a description of the scene in 1876, followed by a summary of the developments until 1892, a period which can only be called “floundering.” Next will be a larger section on the “monumental,” from 1893 to 1950, with a subsection on 1939-50, which might be called the “dawn.” The period 1950-76 has already been called a “golden age,” certainly in terms of quantity if not always of quality. I prefer to think of it as simply “the modern,” for while we have made many advances during the past twenty-five years, we may not have yet reached full maturity.
