Preservation and Technology Funds Established

Preservation of library materials and keeping up with advances in library technology are problems that beset all libraries, and Georgetown is no exception. But at year's end members of the Associates took the initiative in addressing these needs.

Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Randolph Biddle sent in a generous contribution towards establishing a special fund for the preservation of special collections.

Library Advisory Council member Wilbert B. Dubin also gave generously to support the creation of a technology fund.

We can only repeat something Mrs. Biddle wrote in making her and her husband's gift: "Hopefully, others so inclined and more affluent will follow suit."
