Subject: Maps and Tourist Literature
I have a question which probably should be sent to a library list, rather
than the museum list, but I decided to start here first, since there is some
overlap in interest, function, and jurisdiction among our varied members; I
know some are associated with libraries, historical societies, etc.:
I want to deaccession portions of a collection, consisting of printed books
and ephemera accumulated by a photographer during his travels. The
materials
in question include maps, tourist brochures, museum guides, and similar
books
and pamphlets from locations around the world. Nothing particularly early,
rare, or unusual--all ca. 1950-1980--but I would think these items would be
useful in a library setting. Do you know of an institution which could use
such materials, total volume approx. 6 cu. ft.? In some casual inquiries to
librarians I have not received any helpful advice thus far. I hate to
discard these items and would prefer to find an institutional home for the
whole file (minus specific materials which were annotated by the
photographer
and thus have a direct relationship to his work). Most of the items I want
to transfer are unmarked and in good condition. Any ideas?
