IN 1976 THE QUEENS LIBRARYacquired the morgue of the New York Herald Tribune, an eminent New York City newspaper which ceased publication in April 1966. Over the last ten years the Library has made the contents of the morgue, which comprise some five million clippings and 200,000 photographs, available to researchers and scholars, while selecting material pertinent to its other collections for preservation, or duplication and inclusion in them. At this time the Library finds it beyond its resources to continue to house and service the entire morgue. It therefore offers the entire newspaper clipping file to any non-profit organization capable of housing it. By way of description, it may be said that contents are limited to the early years of this century on to the time of the newspaper’s demise. Representation prior to 1910 is very thin, with increasingly higher representation of each decade to the 1960’s. The clipping files are arranged in separate alphabets for the following categories: Subject, Biographical, Dead, Celebrity, By-line. There is a card file of subject headings, with cross-references, to the subject files. Letters of inquiry should be sent by 15 March 1989 to: C.F.J. Young, Long Island Division, Central Library, 89-11 Merrick Boulevard, Jamaica, NY 11432. Arrangements for examination of the-morgue can be made with Mr. Young.

Modern American Literature videotapes

An exciting project to introduce Omnigraphics Inc., a new publisher dedicated to serving the library field

IMAGINE pooling the knowledge and insight of the top authorities on modern American authors and their works … with the skills of leading archivists, picture researchers, biographers, and bibliographers —and television producers… to create an all-in-one video collection to answer important needs of all public, university, and high school libraries!

From Harvard, Princeton, the University of Virginia to name but a few —Omnigraphics has recruited Matthew Bruccoli, Alfred Kazin, Cleanth Brooks, Valerie Smith, Helen Vendler, George Garrett, Leslie Fiedler, and other luminaries to discuss the writers, books, and literary trends and eras on which they are acknowledged authorities.

From other, equally impressive sources come skilled picture researchers, camera people, television technicians of every skill—to provide your library patrons who view these programs with memorable graphic treats.

Cherished family photographs, unposed snapshots rarely if even seen before, caricatures biting or affectionate, rare first-edition book jackets, whole pages of manuscripts and proofs bearing the author’s notations —all required diligent labor to find, and, as you will soon see, are well worth the invested effort.
