Hello, PADG -
On behalf of a task force formed by the ACRL/Rare Books & Manuscripts Section (RBMS), the February 2007 draft revision of the "Guidelines on the Selection and Transfer of Materials from General Collections to Special Collections" is available on the ACRL Web site:
The task force is grateful for any comments or feedback you would like to offer. Please address your remarks to Charlotte B. Brown, task force chair, at:
and include "RBMS Transfer Guidelines
draft" in the subject of the email.
The first edition (1987) of the Guidelines for
Transferring General Collection Materials to Special Collections was prepared
by an ad hoc committee of the ACRL Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS),
chaired by Samuel A. Streit and published in C&RL News 48 no. 8 (September
1987). An updated version was approved by the ACRL Standards Committee in 1994
and given further minor revisions in 1999. cbb
