Arnold, Chairman Dr. Em Claire Knowles, Vice Chairman Edward L. Bertorelli George T. Comeau, Esq. Richard Dunbar Joseph S. Hopkins Elia D. Marnik Emily Salaun Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners Prepared with LSTA funds Preparation of this report was supported in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. However, the opinions expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the position or policy of that agency, and no official endorsement by that agency should be inferred. Introduction The Massachusetts Special Libraries Statistics Report, FY2005 reports data submitted by 109 of 283 (38.5%) special libraries that were surveyed. The survey was distributed in June 2005 to special libraries that are current or former members of the Commonwealth’s six regional library systems. The data in this report is grouped by type of library. The seven categories are For-Profit Corporation, Government Agency, Health/ Hospital, Institutional, Law, Museum/ Historical/ Educational and Other Non-Profit. The alphabetical index displays each libraries’ classification. The report consists of four summary data sections (Expenditures; Hours, Attendance, Reference and Staffing; Holdings and Circulation; and Other Services), and two detailed sections (Circulation and Holdings; and Hours, Attendance, Reference and Staffing). This report provides information that may be used to describe special library services. Users will want to interpret this data in the context of the service roles adopted by the library and expressed in its mission statement. The report reflects considerable time and effort expended by library directors and staff members who have responded to the agency’s survey. Their work is greatly appreciated. Dianne L.

Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Education ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Every Massachusetts schoolchild walks Boston’s Freedom Trail and learns the story of the Hancock house. Its demolition served as a rallying cry for early preservationists and students of historic preservation study its importance. Having been both a Massachusetts schoolchild and student of historic preservation, this project has inspired and challenged me for the past nine months. To begin, I must thank those who came before me who studied the objects and legacy of the Hancock house. I am greatly indebted to the research efforts of Henry Ayling Phillips (1852- 1926) and Harriette Merrifield Forbes (1856-1951). Their research notes, at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts served as the launching point for this project. This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and guidance of my thesis adviser, Brock Jobe.

  • Universal Penman NEWSLETTER of the PROVIDENCE ATHENÆUM
    Universal Penman NEWSLETTER OF THE PROVIDENCE ATHENÆUM MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, “Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves, ALISON MAXELL We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!” Humbert Wolfe Ah, sweet Autumn - colorful foliage, crisp fall mornings, warm wool sweaters – my favorite time of the year. The shift in the seasons, the hint of promised change stirs my soul…and today I am grateful. This past spring you left us spellbound by your spirit and generosity – exceeding our Annual Fund expectations and sending us into the summer with promise and possibility. In early July we reviewed final recommendations from our consultancy and received news of Christina’s fellowship. Informed by both, we made the bold decision to suspend fall programming to enable board and staff to engage more deeply in the planning process – a strategic investment now of time and talent for the promise of a future filled with new possibility. By August, the Athenaeum became center stage - transforming from library to Hollywood set to construction site as members, tourists, artists, filmmakers, and contractors came and went. Suddenly, summer slipped by, students returned, a new semester began - the hustle and bustle of Benefit Street was back - fall had arrived. Inside the Athenaeum, leaves and crushed berries spot the carpets while the familiar scent of old books suggests you are home. Depending upon the day, Mary, Tina, Amy, Amanda, Kirsty, Kathleen, Stephanie or Morgan await your arrival, ready with the latest mystery, best seller, or biscuit (canines only)! Meanwhile, Mary Anne and Allen are upstairs ordering and cataloging the next batch of new books.
