Working with the Antiquarian Book Trade
Thursday, February 10, 2011, 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
University of California, Berkeley
C. V. Starr East Asian Library, Saul and Sherry Yeung Art History Seminar Room
Berkeley, California
The workshop is primarily intended for librarians working at all types
of institutions and with all levels of budgets who are responsible for
acquisition and collection development of special collections
materials. The session will also be of interest to individual
collectors and dealers. The purpose is to provide attendees with
practical information which can be utilized for building collections
and developing beneficial relationships with members of the
antiquarian book trade. Although the emphasis will be on printed
materials, manuscripts and archives will also be discussed. The
workshop will include the context and history of special collections,
collection development, and institutional interaction with the trade,
particularly in the United States. Practical matters will include
materials on the market, auctions, online sources, comparing prices,
purchasing collections, deaccessioning, and provenance issues. A full
reading list will be provided.
