     Jim --
     In 1993, the ALA RBMS/GODORT/MAGERT Joint Committee on Government
     Documents as Rare Books published "Rare and Valuable Government
     Documents: A Resource Packet on Identification, Preservation, and
     Security Issues for Government Documents Collections," compiled by Jim
     Walsh et al.  It includes some useful directory information, though it
     is somewhat out of date by now.  One section lists state contacts who
     are part of the Cooperative Presevation Programs Group, and they can
     help with information and referrals.  There is no listing for
     Missouri, but the info for Kansas is as follows:
        Michael Piper, Executive Director
        Kansas Library Network
        State Capitol, Third Floor
        Topeka, KS 66612-1593
        (913) 296-3296
 
     Another section of the resource packet is a reprinted Technical
     Leaflet from the Northeast Document Conservation Center, which lists
     preservation suppliers and services.
 
     Let me know if I should provide more specifics from this publication.
