[Rarebooks] FS: 1928 Bibliography of Museums and Museum Work.

[Joslin Hall Books & Ephemera]

A Bibliography of Museums and Museum Work.

By Ralph Clifton Smith.
Published in Washington by the American Association of Museums in 1928.

An interesting early bibliography of museum-related technical works in  
books, periodicals and other publications, even today providing a  
really interesting resource for early, especially 19th century  
material. For instance- "On Cleaning Feathers from their Animal Oil",  
appeared in Vol. 5 of the Technical Repository in 1824. I guess you  
either find that breathtakingly interesting or you don't... Smith was  
the Assistant Secretary of the American Association of Museums.

Hardcover. 7.5"x10.5", vi + 302 pages. Light cover wear, scattered  
soil, inkstamp on title page, rear hinge broken.  $20, plus $3 shipping.
