I will begin working for the LDS Church Historical Department on January 26. Fortuntenly as I take on this new assignment, the LDS Church is completing a new building, designed exclusively for collecting, preserving and making availble historical materials. To read more about this new facility see the post on I Love Libraries.

Brad, I will miss you from the BYU Library. I have really enjoyed much of the work you have done to promote the good relationship between dealer – Collector – and Archivist.
Donnie: Thank you for your kind comments, I am sorry the Deseret Antique Times paper you published had to be put on hiatus. This publication got the word out about collectables, and encouraged learning, buying and selling in rare books and manuscripts. I think I heard you say you are coming to the Lee Library’s A. Dean Larsen Book Collecting Conference in late March, I am hoping to draw even closer the major players (dealers, curators and collectors) in rare books and manuscripts through this venue. I’ll see you in our Mens Book Club meeting soon.
Roger and I drove by the new building today to check it out! Can’t wait for your next post and an update on how things are going. Are you surviving the early morning commute?
