Stephen Nonack provided an in-depth
tour of the Boston Athenaeum, as well as invaluable research
assistance. |
We contacted Stephen Nonack, curator
of manuscripts at the Boston Athenaeum, for advice. He graciously
invited the PATH students to use the resources of the Athenaeum
on four Saturdays during the month of April and May. Mr. Nonack
became both host and research guide during these visits. In
addition to research, the students were shown all aspects of
the library's operation, including how items in the Athenaeum's
collection are collected, cataloging, and preserved.
