Separated Material
The Library received the Reichardt collection in 1989. It contained
books, periodicals, recordings and archival materials. Most, but not all, of
the archival papers were transferred to Special Collections the same year. The
Library cataloged ca. 10 publications in 1989 and set aside the remaining
books, periodicals, recordings and archival materials. In July 1996 Special
Collections transferred 2 sound recordings to the Library. In May 1997
approximately 0.6 linear feet of sound recordings, publications and archival
materials were transferred to Special Collections from the Library. In 1998 the
following were transferred to the Library, representing a portion of the May
1997 transfer.
