Adjustment, understandably. I am really happy to be here today, because this is a culmination of about three years of really wonderful work with my author, harry katz. I want to talk a little about what we will do today. Usually when we do a slideshow with these kinds of presentations, we are timing talk or talking directly to the slide, to the content, but there are so many today, we decided to do Something Different and use the slides as wallpaper and will run a slide show, and presumably we are going to run 30 seconds for each slide, there are about 70 slides. We may be referencing the slides occasionally but we will talk about the book in general. If you have questions about the individual slides feel free to ask us at the end of the presentation. So, without further ado, i will introduce harry katz. The former curator from library of congress, and his books a civil war sketchbook and two great books with the Publishing Office baseball americana. Here is harry katz. [applause] harr

Amazing collection of Cultural Heritage in the form of books, paper, photographs, matts, letters, drawings, audiovisual materials and regularly used by researchers who come from another part of the country to work on a book and Research Projects and we always make them available in the reading room so we have to have all the collection is ready for researh at any given time. Given the care and handling that can sometimes inflict damage, they needed a conservation staff to keep the books in working order so this is one of the current projects and the book Conservation Lab. It is from 1475, and it is bound between two enormous pine boards and it was brought into the Conservation Lab because i they had become detached from the block and i needed to reattach it because it is used quite frequently in regular semester classes and a Summer Research institute here at the library.
