The mass deacidification of 6,500 volumes, the cataloging of 4,000 volumes, and the rehousing of embrittled materials from the Danowski Poetry Library.

The Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library (MARBL) of Emory University seeks $280,368 from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a two year $467,539 project to deacidify and catalog poetry periodicals recently acquired by Emory University as a part of the Raymond Danowski Poetry Library. Specifically, Emory seeks support to catalog 4,000 titles, deacidify selected titles (circa 6,500 volumes), and to house limp bindings (i.e. paperbacks) in custom archival boxes.
