Indeed, folks at BPL did contact me.  Access is available through services
in Rare Books and Manuscripts.  And I think it's worth it to re-post the
url to the Leventhal Center's excellent webite:
        http://maps.bpl.org/

As more stories emerge from institutions all over the country that have
lost materials, and as I become more familiar with my own collection, I
can't help but imagine how much I'm missing.  I know things have wandered
off.  I know there are items that I'm supposed to have but that I can't
find. It's diheartening.
