PaleoNet: Downsizing

[Tony Wright]

Hi John,

 

Good to hear from your message and Nomen nudum that you are still in the land of the living. Your message is very interesting!

 

I have a query for you about personal libraries. Given the reluctance of institutional libraries in general to find space, resources and general interest in absorbing these libraries (for instance, see the fate of the Dorothy Hill/UQ departmental library) have you seen this problem discussed anywhere? What has happened with GA folk in recent years? I know that Des and Barry Webby passed on stuff to Londonderry (and so have I, but only largely unwanted stuff), but this must be a general problem, Like you I have spent a lot of $ collecting stuff and I have lots of the usual freebies which are now unobtainable.

 

Just a continuing thought. 

 

Best wishes

Tony

Paleonetters,

Downsizing is hard.
