Rain damaged several rare books stored on an upper floor of Love Library Wednesday.
Rain damaged 20 volumes of rare books
Wednesday in the UNL Archives on the
Third door of Love Library, said Joe Svo
boda, UNL archivist and library professor.
The books were very old and were to
go on display shortly at the library. One
included work of the Roman poet Ovid.
Harley Schrader, physical plant direc
tor, said the problems were caused because
the gutters of the building recently were
removed by a private contractor.
"When the gutter was removed, we felt
that diere would be no problems with
water leakage," Schrader said.
All three archive rooms were dama
ged by water. In the main room, 35 trash
cans were placed on the floor to collect
the water, which was dripping from the
ceiling and plastic light fixtures. Plastic
covers were placed over all the book
shelves in an attempt to avoid further dam
age. Svoboda said the damaged books will
be given a treatment called freeze -drying to
preserve them. However, the damage has
already been done, and the books will
never be the same, he said.
The archives staff was aided in the clean
up process by Judith Fortson-Jones, the
paper conservator for the Nebraska State
Ilistorical Society.
"She was at the university giving semi
nars on how to save items, and she was
able to give the staff instructions on how
to correctly wrap the books with string
before they were freeze -dried," Svoboda
said.
Svoboda did not know what the cost
would be to preserve the books.
