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."
