The Business Historical Society will permanently deposit in the Harvard Business Library this year its collection of over 50,000 volumes relating to business and finance. In addition to the books, many thousands of valuable pamphlets, reports, and business documents as yet unfiled will be included in the collection, it was announced by C. C.-Eaton '02, Librarian of the Business Historical Society yesterday.

The new building constructed for the Library of the Harvard Business School has been designed to take care of the collection of the Historical Society so that the business record and books may be easily consulted.

Specially Trained Staff Needed.

To classify and compile the thousands of items in the collection will require the services of a specially trained staff throughout the year. Crates of business documents arrive daily for the collection, according to Mr. Eaton, and hundreds of these gifts as yet unopened are stored in the basement of Widener Library. These donations come from business men all over the country, from banks, from industrial firms, and even from plantations and general stores.

The Business Historical Society was chartered last year by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in business research, to collect and preserve business books and records, and to promote better understanding of the unity of financial, commercial, and industrial activity throughout the world.

The deposit of the Business Historical Society's collection in the new Baker Library will make the Harvard Business School the center of the greatest business reference source in the world. The membership of the Historical Society covers the United States and Canada, insuring for the future a constant supply of new data for the Business Library.
