- Abstract
- William E. Foster, Brown University class of 1873, served as Librarian of the Providence Public Library from 1877–1930. Foster collected 600 volumes of Horace works during his lifetime and his widow donated the collection to Brown after his death. The John Hay Library at Brown has his 1481 copy of Opera cum commentario Acronis et Porphyrionis by Horace (ISTC ih00451000). Its pages are as brittle as most 19th century wood pulp newsprint. In order to make recommendations for a method of use and storage, I describe here how this item degraded to such a fragile condition.
