The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 18, April 29, 2001, Article 12 COLLECTORS AS CURATORS Dave Bowers notes correctly that "Sometimes materials suffer when being held by institutions. I recall visiting the NY Public Library to review their periodicals in the 1970s, and ALL of the Norman Rockwell covers on their Saturday Evening Posts had been razored out. Probably if they had been in private hands, this would not have happened. Often, a private person is a better custodian than is an institution. I could tell many stories about such things, as I have been buying deaccessioned periodicals for many years."
