I read with dismay the decision to close the PHS at
Montreat. While I understand
the moving of the collections to both
Columbia Theological Seminary site. The Special
Collections there apparently has
no regular hours, appointment only. In addition, a careful
reading of the library policies
never mentions that anyone may use the library. I think
that in cases where important
historical research collections are moved, it would be
prudent for SAA to ascertain that
organizations and libraries are not making access more
restrictive than before such changes.
