    GARRETT ARCHIVE AT ANS

    In response to last week's question about the Garrett archives,
    ANS Executive Director Ute Wartenburg writes: "Yes, this is
    indeed the Garrett Archive, and we are really thrilled to receive
    this gift. It came to us thanks to the hard work of David and
    Susan Tripp, who have been tireless supporters of the ANS
    and in particular the library. They also contributed $1000 for
    a fund for the Garrett Archive. Any suggestions what a fund
    that will hopefully grow could do? Frank Campbell will write
    a major piece for the next ANS Newsletter."

    With the ANS in financial straits, there is no better time to
    for bibliophiles to support the library with a donation. Mr.
    Campbell undoubtedly has a wish list of good uses for library
    funds. Two important categories would be preservation and
    publication. The library and its new acquisitions must be
    preserved and protected above all else. Indexing and
    publication are next - the library is useless if researchers can't
    find what they need. The library's program to convert its
    catalogue to electronic format is of paramount importance for
    the 21st century. It will be a banner day for numismatic
    research when this newsletter can publish the address of
    a web page for the ANS library catalogue.
