Corrections & Follow-Up

• On the front page of the December 1988 issue, a three-month training program in recovery of water-damaged library materials was announced for January; but it never came off.
• On page 56 of the June issue, there is a brief review of the publication Meeting the Preservation Challenge. Jan Merrill-Oldham is listed as the author, but she is really the editor.

Support For Abbey Publications

The Abbey Newsletter is one of two newsletters issued by Abbey Publications (a nonprofit tax-exempt corporation) to disseminate news and information to people involved in any aspect of conservation of library and archival materials, and to stimulate and encourage the field. Nearly all of the income of Abbey Publications cones from the sale of subscriptions, but since the field is small and the cost of gathering information is rather high, these fees do not cover all costs. The deficit is made up from voluntary contributions.

Last year a total of 7.5% of income, or $3962, was received in contributions. This year, $1222 has been received, which the Editor and Trustees acknowledge with gratitude:
