Everything is Warburg
September 21st, 2010 by davidw
The NY Review of Books gives a substantial taste of an upcoming article by Anthony Grafton and Jeffrey Hamburger about the library of the Warburg Institute. It organizes books on the shelves — it’s an open stacks library — into clusters of related materials, cutting across the usual subject classification. The University of London, which rescued and preserved the library, now is planning on dispersing its contents.
[The next day:] The full article has now been posted. Thanks, NYRB!
Librarian has organize book, but the other despersing it. So cruel.
