Cara Bertram writes: “In 1926, during ALA’s 50th anniversary, Boston Public Library presented ALA with a scrapbook of letters, postcards, and documents tracing the origins of the Librarians’ Conference of 1876, the start of the Association. This piece of ALA history has largely been inaccessible due to the deteriorating condition of the object, with pages becoming detached from its binding and past repairs failing. In 2023, the ALA Archives and the Conservation Unit at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Library initiated discussions about a conservation plan.”
