In the depths of the Grolier Club Archives sat a box labeled “Business Records", classified as a box of unprocessed Financial Records for many years. When Archivist Allison Hamilton began to process it this spring, she discovered that the documents inside were not financial records at all but records of Grolier Secretary Allen Everetts Foster. These files, concerning the business of organizing events and lectures, included a folder of responses to a survey sent to Grolier membership in June of 1943. Allison writes about her experience of giving into the allure of the archives and reading through these survey responses in the Grolier Club Library's new blog post, sharing her observations about this glimpse into the Club's past.
