University Libraries as Advocates for Latin American Indigenous Languages and Cultures | CRL
The revitalization of Latin American Indigenous languages started many years ago, but only some university libraries in the United States have taken steps to advocate for preservation, access, inclusion, and diversity through collection building covering these languages and cultures.

Nettie Lee Benson on the Development of Special Collections | BookCollecting History.com
“Fine collections cannot be easily built without the acquisition of choice private libraries. Neither can they be developed without the assistance of the bookseller. Such libraries can form the nucleus around which an excellent collection may be built, but it is impossible to develop an exceptional one solely through the acquisition of private collections. The bookmen are indispensable contributors to the tasks. True, that it is their business, as some would say; but even though it is to their advantage to find and sell the material, few bookmen are in the business just for the money they get out of it. They play a greater role in preserving books and making them available than most people realize. All great libraries are indebted to tireless and largely unselfish work of the bookmen and their employees. . . It is to them the librarians must go to obtain additional books and sets needed to round out a collection and keep it abreast of the times. Without great bookmen great libraries would be impossible."
