Abstract:

In 1985, 16 institutions came together to create Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries (PACSCL) as an informal cooperative group with a shared agenda ranging from access to public programs and development. PACSCL has grown in size to over 30 libraries and evolved into a formal organization. PACSCL is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of one representative from each member library. An Executive Committee, consisting of six elected members (four officers and two at-large members), the immediate past chair, and the chairs of standing and ad hoc committees, oversees programs and planning.

This is a collection of records of the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries (PACSCL). Materials include project and budget reports for NHPRC and Pew Charitable Trust grant projects; minutes of meetings of PACSCL and of the group's executive committee; correspondence related to membership and special projects; files on legal, insurance, and tax status of PACSCL; and files on programs and events. The records appear to be the files of Carol Spawn and Thomas Horrocks.
