Dear Colleagues
You will have seen press reports of the fire that destroyed our Mackintosh
Library, often voted one of the most beautiful library spaces in the world.
We've issued a statement here
http://gsalibrarytreasures.wordpress.com/2014/05/30/statement-on-the-mackin…
The entire library and its contents were destroyed, but we have been
humbled by the many good wishes and kind words we have received across the
world from friends and strangers alike.
We have received many offers of book donations to help us rebuild our lost
collections. In response we have released a wants list of specific titles
that we are seeking, which you can find here
http://lib.gsa.ac.uk/update-on-fire-affected-library-services/
If any of your hold these volumes in your collections that you would be
willing to donate to us, they would be very gratefully received as we begin
the process to rebuild what was lost. Please also feel free to circulate
this list across your institutions or to others you feel may be able to
help us.
Best wishes
Duncan Chappell
Academic Liaison Librarian

The webcast for "Authenticity," the symposium held by the Rare Book and
Special Collections Division at The Library of Congress on December 6, 2013
is now available.
“Authenticity,” was a day-long program that looked at one of the most
difficult subjects facing libraries, private collectors, and booksellers
today -- judging the genuineness of printed materials. The symposium
focused on the research which curators, scholars, and conservators have
been conducting regarding all elements of printing and book production.
The speakers included specialists who are at the cutting edge of research
on printing techniques, paper manufacture, binding construction, and
typography, as well as scholars, conservators, scientists, and booksellers
who are dedicated to establishing methods for determining authenticity in
the field of rare books, prints, and manuscripts.
