[Genealib] non-library collections

[Dusty Gres]

Not now, but until 1999 that was the policy and status of our Ladson
Genealogical Library.  The collection began in the 1940s when John E. "Jack"
Ladson, Jr. began his own genealogical research. In 1979, Mr. Ladson's
personal library and private collection finally outgrew his own home, and
the materials were made available to the public through the establishment of
The John E. Ladson, Jr. Historical and Genealogical Foundation. By
agreement, the materials were provided and housed by the Foundation; staff
of the Vidalia-Toombs County Library cataloged the collection and operated
the library.  Upon the death of Jack Ladson in December 1999, the collection
became the property of the Ohoopee Regional Library System.

Subject: [Genealib] non-library collections


I would like to know if anyone is aware of a collection that is not the
property of  a library but is catalogued and therefore accessible through
the library's online catalog. This offsite collection would not circulate;
the library oversees the handling, catalagoing and use of the collecion.
