[Genealib] Valuing a collection

[UW-W Archives]

We just completed an evaluation of the collection and I must echo Ken's comment's.  The value, especially for the things you would have to replace in a genealogical collection, ony goes up, not down.  We also recently looked at  books published before 1900 in the main library and were very surprised at the values of many items - i.e. $800 for an Alfred Russell Wallace volume and $2500 for one by Sir Richard Burton.
