At present, [[Consuls]] are responsible for all of the above. They would delight to delegate any or all of this work to volunteers.
==Location==
==Accessions==
Due to the large amount of uncataloged uncatalogued material, accessions -- —particularly purchases -- —must reasonably be constrained:
# Purchase policy: post-2006 until cataloging is complete
# Expected donations:
:# Russell Clark, FAS, has willed us a large collection on royal biography; we are in touch with his next of kin.
:# Marta Metcalf, FAS, may offer her genealogical collection as a long-term loan as long as the Library is open to the public. This will likely be delayed until all other genealogical material has been cataloged.
==[[Cataloging]]==
# Maps and charts (pending the relocation of the map cabinets to a more accessible location)
# Photographs (pending their being processed by the [[Photo Collection Study Group]])
# Ephemera*
* These categories will be delayed until funds are available for shelf boxes.
==Spine Labels==
Spine labels will not be created until the collection has been cataloged, as the process may drive changes in the classification system and especially Cutter numbers. The data to be printed on the labels, and the use of them on rare or valuable volumes, is to be determined.
Technology may suggest that we want to supplement the printed information on the labels with a barcode, either in black & white or using UV ink. This will depend on available and affordable technology at time time of label creation.
==Rebinding and Repair==
Standards need to be set for rebinding, and these should probably match those set for the bindings of Society publications. Current thinking is black ¾ ¾ covers, with a goldenrod spine, author/title printed in black. This needs to be run past our binder to ensure practicality.
Selection of items for rebinding or repair will come from:
