Norma writes “The Columbus Dispatch on Dec. 28 refreshed our memory on the work Harry Campbell is doing to preserve the Ohio State University Libraries’ Thurber Collection. Campbell has a grant from the Save Americas Treasures to microfilm, de-acidify, provide conservation treatment and rehouse the bulk of the OSUL Thurber Collection. It includes manuscripts, drawings, books, photos and scrapbooks which include original drawings that illustrated Thurber’s books and New Yorker articles.
Campbell is also working on restoring a 1596 edition of John Foxe’s Book of Martyrs as well as a 1563 lst ed. The original story ran on Jan 20, 2003 in the CD.”
Harry’s done some good things in the rather short time he’s been at OSU.
