Their purpose was to evaluate the scholarly potential of the Utah Genealogical Society collection and to suggest ways of opening the collection to more use by scholars, and to evaluate Marriott Library holdings. The first group was Lewis Hanke, an eminent Latin American scholar and former president of the American Historical Association; Louise Tilly, a French historian representing the Center for Social History at the University of Michigan; and Richard Wall, from England and representing the Cambridge Center of Population Studies. The second group was composed of Samuel P. Hays, a well known social historian from the University of Pittsburgh; Jackson T. Main, Director of the Institute of Family Studies at SUNY Stonybrook; and Jerome Clubb, Director of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research at the University of Michigan. Each group was here for a week examining the Society's collection and also the Marriott Library to determine how well the two libraries complimented each other. The results of their evaluation were extremely positive and urged us to expand our offerings and work in the areas of social history and social sciences and that University resources be shifted to facilitate this development. -Roger M . Haigh, Professor Department of History- |
