I am having a discussion with a colleague here at Penn State about capturing the long and useful history (1950s - I think mid-2000s) of the Summer Project that the G&M Division hosted annually that benefited so many libraries around the country as well as the Division itself, wondering if there has been much, if at all, written about it. In my vague recollection I am sure I saw/read an article in a Library of Congress Newsletter (staff publication) years ago about it. I wouldn't be surprised if at least a couple of map librarians out there wrote articles published in places like the SLA G&M Division Bulletin or the WAML Information Bulletin over the years. We both feel that a project to write about this important part of the LC G&M Division's history would be worthwhile, particularly as fewer and fewer Division employees (even retirees) who were a part of it are still around as well as those who participated in it at least once (Penn State participated numerous times over the years, with different individuals, including myself; I believe a couple of institutions hold records for most times participating and most times participating over consecutive years).

If you are aware of any articles, write-ups, summaries or similar have been written about the Summer Projects (and not only in peer reviewed publications, ANY publication) please contact me directly, I'd appreciate the assistance in a literature search.
