Special collections library project files [manuscript], 1938-2001 (bulk 1971-2001).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647903274

Records accumulated by Edmund Berkeley, Jr., de facto coordinator of the University of Virginia's interest in and efforts to construct a special collections library building at the University. The records contain justification statements including one by consultant Ellsworth Mason, recommendations, fund raising materials, architect's presentation materials, correspondence, and files on special collections buildings elsewhere dating from 1938, equipment, preliminary blueprints, site plans, and a study on the feasibility of a Special Collections wing on AldermanLibrary. With them are the files of former University Librarian, Ray W. Frantz, Jr. regarding the project. Of interest are photographs of Governor James S. Gilmore, III's trip to Alderman Library to discuss the release of state funds for the Mary and David Harrison Institute for American History, Literature and Culture and Albert H. Small Special Collections Library building. Gilmore is photographed with University President John Casteen, University Librarian Karin Wittenborg, and Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Leonard Sandridge.
