The most recent gift from John Moscato (C'73, Library Associates Trustee) enriches the Library's microforms with many contemporary political records. The microfilm includes 47 reels on the political activities of the Johnson White House, and 60 reels of Vietnam national security files during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. The microfiche in Mr. Moscato's gift include papers of the Nixon White House (The President's Meeting File, 1969-1974). Other microfiche deal with the Congress, the Judiciary, Public Figures and Private Individuals, as well as oral histories of the Johnson Administration. This gift, continuing a long series of similar gifts over the past five years, greatly strengthens our research collections in recent U.S. history and international affairs. Mr. Moscato, who recently sold
his firm, University Publications of America, has been one of the foremost
publishers of scholarly microforms in the world. He continues his publishing
activities as President of Twenty-first Century Books. We extend our deep
appreciation for the vital part that he has played in developing the Georgetown
University Library's collection and wish him much success in his new venture. |
