Anne-Imelda Radice, Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, announced today that 851 museums, libraries, and archives, representing every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, have been selected to receive the IMLS Connecting to Collections Bookshelf. The contents of the bookshelf were selected by a blue ribbon panel of conservation experts; it includes an essential set of books, online resources, and a user's guide that can profoundly impact the ability of small libraries and museums to care for their collections.
The following NH institutions received the bookshelf:
New Hampshire Historical Society - Concord, NH
New Hampshire Political Library - Concord, NH
Castle Preservation Society - Moultonborough, NH
Richards Free Library - Newport, NH
Pillsbury Free Library - Warner, NH
Also, the New Hampshire State Library, the NH Division of Historic Resources, Portsmouth Public Library and Laconia Public Library received this bookshelf by participating in the national Connecting to Collections summit held in Washington, DC during June 2007.
