Acquisition and Appraisal at the 2008 Meeting
Join us in San Francisco for the 2008 SAA Annual Meeting. The Acquisition and Appraisal Section will meet Friday, August 29, from 12:00-2:00. Following the business meeting, Jim Jacobs, Data Services Librarian Emeritus, University of California San Diego and a co-creators of FreeGovInfo.info, will discuss the extreme challenges for preservation of government information in the digital age and offer some surprisingly simple and familiar strategies.
The meeting has much to offer section members. Two section-proposed sessions, “Digital Donors: Agreements, Rights, and Donor Relations in the Electronic Environment” (Saturday, Aug 30, 2008, 1:30-3:00) and “Ethnic Archives: Collecting in Cultural Contexts” (Friday, Aug 29, 2008, 2:30-4:00) were accepted. Whereas most previous presentations have concentrated on the technical perspective of how to preserve, present, and describe born digital materials, “Digital Donors” will focus on donor-relations and agreements and how they are affected by the collections’ being digital. Participants include presenters Pat Galloway, University of Texas School of Information, and Menzi Behrnd-Klodt, archivist, attorney, and consultant, and chair Rob Spindler, University of Arizona. Participants in “Ethnic Archives” will discuss the challenges of and strategies for collecting manuscript and archival material from traditionally underrepresented groups and establishing repositories that offer a balanced collection that truly reflect these communities. Presenters include Sal Güereña, Director of the California Ethnic and Multicultural Archives at the University of California, Santa Barbara and David George-Shongo, the first archivist of the Seneca Nation in New York. Brad Bauer, Hoover Institution Archives, Stanford University, will serve as chair.

Congress Passes Resolution on Preservation of Members’ Papers
Excerpted with permission from a CPR Newsletter article by Karen Paul, Senate Historical Office
June 20, 2008 was a milestone in the long term efforts to improve preservation of the papers of members of Congress. What began over thirty years earlier with the establishment of a Historical Office in the Senate in 1975 culminated when the House passed House Concurrent Resolution 307 on March 5, 2008, and the Senate in turn passed it by unanimous consent on June 20th. This resolution puts in place the final piece of a puzzle whose design element is the documentation of Congress, specifically the preservation of the papers of its members.
With this concurrent resolution, the Congress finally has expressed in writing its “policy” regarding the preservation of these materials and articulated Congress’s sense of their importance. While it does not define the contents- that is left to archivists- it does state the members’ common belief in their value and in the importance of preserving them. Over time, it will grow in stature as it is used over and over again in remarks, in written guidance, and as a constant reminder. This written “policy” provides congressional archivists inside and outside the Congress with a persuasive and useful tool for demonstrating the documentary importance of the materials that result from the members’ service. Service in Congress is a high public trust and the records of that service are invaluable. It now is up to all of us to use this new found tool to the best of our abilities.
The enrolled text follows:
H.Con.Res.307
Agreed to June 20, 2008
One Hundred Tenth Congress
of the
United States of America
AT THE SECOND SESSION
Begun and held at the City of Washington on Thursday, the third day of January, two thousand and eight
Concurrent Resolution
Whereas Members’ Congressional papers (including papers of Delegates and Resident Commissioners to the Congress) serve as indispensable sources for the study of American representative democracy;
Whereas these papers document vital national, regional, and local public policy issues;
Whereas these papers are crucial to the public’s understanding of the role of Congress in making the
Nation’s laws and responding to the needs of its citizens;
Whereas because these papers serve as essential primary sources for the history of Congress, the study of these papers will illuminate the careers of individual Members;
Whereas by custom, these papers are considered the personal property of the Member who receives and
creates them, and it is therefore the Member who is responsible to decide on their ultimate disposition; and
Whereas resources are available through the Office of the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the
Secretary of the Senate to assist Members with the professional and cost-effective management and
preservation of these papers: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that
- Members’ Congressional papers (including papers of Delegates and Resident Commissioners to the Congress) should be properly maintained;
- each Member of Congress should take all necessary measures to manage and preserve the Member’s own Congressional papers; and
- each Member of Congress should be encouraged to arrange for the deposit or donation of the Member’s own noncurrent Congressional papers with a research institution that is properly equipped to care for them, and to make these papers available for educational purposes at a time the Member considers appropriate.
Attest:
Clerk of the House of Representatives.
Attest:
Secretary of the Senate.

Ransom Center Acquires 77 John Steinbeck Letters
Submitted by Steve Mielke, The University of Texas at Austin
The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at The University of Texas at Austin has acquired 77 letters from John Steinbeck to Henry S. White, recording a regular correspondence between two business associates and close friends.
Dating from October 1948 to August 1949, the almost daily correspondence documents a difficult period in Steinbeck's life. Early in 1948, Steinbeck's closest friend, Ed Ricketts, died from injuries he received in a car accident. Shortly thereafter, Steinbeck's second wife, Gwyn, announced she was divorcing him.
Steinbeck fell into a creative slump and involved himself in the film industry in an attempt to invigorate his career. He formed a production company called World Video with White, Robert Capa and Phil Reisman.
"The letters offer insight into Steinbeck's everyday life and his emotional state during this period," said Thomas F. Staley, director of the Harry Ransom Center. "They not only reveal Steinbeck's day-to-day activities and concerns related to the production company but also provide knowledge about his personal life, family concerns and emotional difficulties, financial troubles and his travels."
In one letter, after expressing concerns about the finances of their company, Steinbeck writes, "Right now my nerves are pretty bad. The discipline of the film held me down and now that it is done the lid is a little bit off. I think I must get back to work or violent play very quickly.
"There is no really valid reason for going to New York except the pleasure of seeing you and Betty and a few others. I still have a feeling of revulsion about the city which of course has to do with G[wyn]. That will take some time to get over. The cold blooded planning of that thing becomes more apparent all the time... I'm kind of used up Henry and will be for a little while until I get ironed out inside. The scars are deeper than I thought."
Nearly all of Steinbeck's letters are handwritten on ruled, yellow paper and are in good condition. Steinbeck's handwriting is neat but small and sometimes difficult to read. Steinbeck notes in one of the letters, "I'm sorry you have trouble with my handwriting. I just don't like the typewriter."
The acquisition also includes 50 typed carbon copies of White's responses to Steinbeck from the same period and a transcription of the full correspondence.
The correspondence will be added to the Ransom Center's existing Steinbeck collection, which includes the manuscript for "East of Eden" and a concurrent daily journal, a similar journal for "The Grapes of Wrath," notebooks containing versions of "Tortilla Flat" and "The Pearl" and more than 360 letters from Steinbeck to editor and friend Pascal Covici.
A finding aid of the Ransom Center's Steinbeck collection is available online.

Binghamton University Libraries Celebrate the Acquisition of Molly Peacock’s Papers
Jean Green, Binghamton University
Binghamton University Libraries are pleased to announce the acquisition of Molly Peacock’s papers and manuscripts. Ms. Peacock, an internationally recognized poet and Binghamton University alumnus (Harpur ’69), will have her sixth volume of poems, The Second Blush, published by W. W. Norton and Company in June 2008. Additionally, Ms. Peacock served as one the of the creators of the Poetry in Motion program, past president of the Poetry Society of America, and author/performer of The Shimmering Verge, a one-woman show that she has performed at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., and Off-Broadway at Urban Stages in New York City. (Please visit Ms. Peacock’s web site for additional biographical information.)
The formal announcement of this significant acquisition occurred on February 6, 2008, during a gala gathering of BU’s library supporters and Ms. Peacock’s distinguished friends at The Penn Club of New York. The evening’s highlight occurred when Ms. Peacock came to the podium and read "The Flaw," a new poem from her forthcoming book.
Speaking at this celebration, Ms. Peacock said, "My literary papers have found a home at Binghamton University Library, which is perfect. That’s where my papers were longing to be, since I found a home at Binghamton University for four years, between 1965 and 1969. And that was the time I found myself as a writer."
John Meador, Director of University Libraries, expressed his gratitude to Ms. Peacock and told the audience that as academic libraries embrace similar digital futures, it will be the unique papers and manuscripts comprising their respective Special Collections that ultimately will distinguish one library from another. In this instance, Ms. Peacock’s papers are particularly noteworthy for their completeness. She admitted that evening, "I have to confess to you that I have been saving my literary papers since the age of twelve. And when I got to Binghamton, and realized I had an overweening ambition for a working class girl from Buffalo, some day to be listed in the Table of Contents of the Oxford Book of American Poetry, it dawned on me that I had better start saving stuff. I saved my college notebooks from Binghamton, and every draft of every poem I’ve written since then."

Northeastern’s New Acquisition: The Chinese Progressive Association Historical Records
From news release
Northeastern University Libraries is pleased to announce the acquisition of the historical records of Boston's Chinese Progressive Association, a grassroots community organization that works for full equality and empowerment of the Chinese community in Boston and beyond.
Founded on July 17, 1977 in Boston's Chinatown, the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA) supports adult education, civic empowerment, workers rights, youth leadership, and community information and referral services. It also participates in citywide and regional coalitions, including the Asian Pacific American Agenda Coalition, Boston Tenant Coalition, Civic Engagement Initiative, Fair Wage Campaign, Immigrant Workers Center Collaborative, New Majority, and Whose Boston. Among its early activities, the CPA helped found the Chinatown Housing and Land Development Task Force, worked with other activists to conduct voter registration and organize the first mayoral candidates forum in Chinatown, and joined African American and Latino community leaders to file a successful lawsuit against gerrymandering of state electoral districts. In 1986, CPA organized with dislocated garment workers from P&L Sportswear and from Beverly Rose, another sportswear manufacturer, to win the first Chinese bilingual retraining programs in New England. The following year, the CPA Workers Center was established to continue organizing immigrant workers to advocate for their rights. In 1993, CPA worked with other Chinatown organizations and the American Friends Service Committee to organize a plebiscite on the Parcel C parking garage proposed for the center of residential Chinatown, eventually winning the designation of the parcel for community development. More recently, in 2005 the organization launched its Immigrant Workers Center Collaborative to build immigrant worker organizing and solidarity in the Chinese, Brazilian, and Latino communities. In 2006, CPA strengthened ties with communities of color, tenant organizations, and housing advocates to secure changes in Boston's Inclusionary Development Policy and its definition of housing affordability in an effort to stabilize Boston neighborhoods.
The 19 linear feet of material dates from 1977-2005 and includes board and committee minutes, correspondence, grant proposals, newsletters, press clippings, and audio/visual material.
This rich collection contributes to the University Archives and Special Collection Department’s collecting focus on records of private, non-profit, community-based organizations that are concerned with social justice issues.
