----------------------------Original message---------------------------- 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 It includes some useful directory information, though it is somewhat out of date by now.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. Nancy Kandoian NYPL Map Division [log in to unmask]
