a~ <br />Notes from the Orange County NC Room Meeting with Eileen McGrath -North <br />Carolina Collection, UNC University Libraries 3/31/09 <br />Eileen McGrath -North Carolina Collection, UNC University Libraries <br />Kim Sholar -Orange County Public Library <br />Ms. McGrath with the North Carolina Collection of the UNC University Libraries met at <br />the Orange County Public Library to review the Local History Room holdings focusing <br />on special and/or rare items. <br />Keeping in mind the library's goals of public accessibility, preservation, protection and <br />security of the materials as well as the library's clientele the following objectives for the <br />meeting were established: <br />1. To identify any basic NC history resources that may be missing from the OCPL <br />local history collection <br />2. To identify items that are not needed for a NC core collection or local history <br />collection <br />3. To identify items that need special security <br />4. To identify items needing preservation treatment that the library can not provide <br />Ms. McGrath first looked over the main collection to see if there were any rare or special <br />items on the open shelves. She did not find any materials that fit these criteria. During the <br />discussion afterward she identified materials that could be weeded out and those to keep <br />for a core collection. <br />Items to maintain for a core collection: <br />1. Genealogical materials and materials useful to genealogist (for example: The <br />Pension Roll of 1835 and family histories) <br />2. Items about Orange County history and its residents <br />3. General NC histories by Lefler, Powell, Hamilton and Conner (some of the other <br />NC histories could be sent to the circulating collection) <br />4. Local periodicals (for example: D-OGS Newsletter and Trading Path) <br />Items that may be removed from the local history collection: <br />1. Most of the biographies can be relocated to the circulating collection including <br />those that have no association to Orange County and most of the governors' <br />papers (keeping Martin, Hunt and any Orange County governors) <br />2. Back issue of most periodicals, keeping previous and current year only <br />3. Colonial and State Records (available from UNC Libraries, Documenting the <br />American South web site) <br />4. Older NC manuals, keep previous and current year <br />There wasn't any strong recommendation for keeping histories of other counties; perhaps <br />moving them to the circulation collection. She offered to send a list of standard county <br />histories for the core collection along with a list of governor's papers being digitalized in <br />the ECU project in order to help us make collection development decisions. <br />
