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.

Harvard owes its very name to the library that was left in 1638 by John Harvard to the newly created College. For 370 years, the College and the University that grew around it have had libraries at their heart. While the University sprouted new buildings, departments, and schools, the library grew into a collection of collections, adding new services and locations until its tendrils stretched as far from Cambridge as Washington, DC and Florence, Italy.

These are "facts-in-themselves" waiting to be ham- mered into "reasoned facts," to borrow Aristotle's terminology. Here is the raw material to build and test historical hypotheses. Indeed, what the observatory is to the astronomer or the tevatron to the particle physicist, Widener is to the histo- rian. For those who believe that salvation is in the details, here are data, mere facts, waiting to be discovered and converted into historical facts. Central to my own research program is an attempt to understand how the idea of Copernicus' heliocentric theory was received and perceived in the century fol- lowing its publication in 1543. How many copies of his masterpiece, De revolu- tionibusorbium coelestium, were published, and what became of them? In the absence of any printer's records, we need to make an educated guess about the press run.

  • 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.

It analyzes three of them—Lamont, Michigan, and UCLA—in some detail, and speculates as to their future.
