20 Im City Pi MI 01ml lamfry, Jvntt, lift Original Old Capitol Library Catalog Being Developed BIBLIOGRAPHER--University of Iowa bibliographer Martha Esbin stndies the Iowa State Accession Book of 1875, one of the sources she is using to rebuild the original Old Capitol library. EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of two articles on the rebuilding of the original OW Capitol Library at the University of Iowa. University News Service Before Robert Lucas left Ohio in June of 1838 to become the first governor of Iowa Territory, he and "several literary friends" had already selected the contents of a territorial library. Now Martha Esbin is trying to rebuid that library. She's been at work since last November on a one-year halftime appointment as bibliographer for Iowa's Old Capitol restoration project.

A University of Iowa campus landmark, Old Capitol is being restored as a "living museum" of its period as Iowa's first permanent capitol, from 1842 to 1857. Restoration of the library is a major part of the overall project. Ms. Esbin's first major task was to develop an accurate catalog of the original library collection. A clue she found during her first day's work in the University of Iowa Library led to her discovery of the 1839 and 1845 Iowa Territorial Library catalogs in Ihe Iowa Masonic Library in Cedar Rapids.

Authored by Iowa's first territorial librarian, Theodore Par- vin, the 1839 catalog concludes with a report that library holdings totaled 1.568 volumes, valued at "$3.80 cash per volume." The collection was classified fty subject biography, education, history, law, medicine, periodicals, poetry, politics, science, theology, voyages, maps and miscellaneous. The titles reflected a selection of important contemporary works. By 1857, when the library was moved to Des Moines along with the rest of Iowa's governmental offices, the library collection had grown to approximately 3,000 volumes. In addition to the and 1845 catalogs, Ms. Esbin has searched the first Iowa State Library accessions book, dated 1875; all Iowa legislative journals and laws of the period; and various histories, periodicals, catalogs and state librarians' reports.

The first Old Capitol "original" acquired for the restoration is the paperback "Journal of the Seventh Legislative Assembly of the Territory of printed in 1845. The Journal was donated for the restoration by Mrs. Clifford State Library" written across Millen of Des Moines in mem- the bottom of page 30. ory of her late husband andi The labeling practice wasn't his father. William I.

The other is "The World's Progress" from the six volume "Putnam's Home published in 1852. Ms. Esbin believes about more volumes in the University Library were in the original Old Capitol collection. There are others in the State and State Historical Department and there may be some in the UI Law Library. Of the several clues which help identify a book as an Old Capitol original, the most important are a pre- 1857 publication date and the words "Iowa clue doesn't appear 4 in books which strayed from the library before that year, as a number did.

In addition to the one Old Capitol original, gifts to the library restoration to date include 17 volumes from the collection of John Ronalds, one of the two commissioners who chose the wilderness site for Old Capitol in May of 1839; a "very nice" collection of pre- 1857 volumes from the College of Law Library; and about 30 volumes from individual donors. Beyond its part in showing what Old Capitol looked like during its frontier years, restoration of as much of the original serration specialist on the University Libraries staff, is checking and cleaning the volumes acquired for the restoration. The constant temperature and humidity controls essential to preservation of the collection must be provided in the structural restoration of Old Capitol, which will begin next winter. In the interim, Ms. Esbin is taking steps to keep the acquisitions as well-housed as possible in temporary quarters.

And she's "boning up" on preservation. For example, she has gotten advice from Nathan Stol ow, director of the Canadian Conservation Institute in Ottawa and a world authority on the conservation of archival mater ials. Law Library, State Traveling library collection as possible Library, State Medical Library will show visitors what Iowa settlers read, both for the knowledge they needed and for "cultural enrichment." Additionally, the collection will be available to scholars for research into the history and literature of the mid-1800s.
