The BA is using the announcement to encourage gifts to help pay for housing the Collection--very smart of them. There are a slip or too here. In fact, I hitchhiked into Pittsfield from NYC in the summer of 1962. That's a little more than four decades ago. I had the old Athenaeum almost to myself until the little school children came in late during the afternoon and brought the library to life. We are ecstatic to have the Collection at the new BA. Besides the books, there are thick chronological files packed with research suggestions--which I will not pursue but others may.
