*From the Latin motto inscribed over the north portal of the
Government & Social Science Information Service (the former Loan Hall)
in Doe Library: Bene Legere Saecla Vincere,
"To read well is to master the ages." |
The Library is pleased to announce that William T. '52 and
Ruth Moosman Hart '53 have made a magnificent addition to their
unitrust that will ultimately benefit the University Library. Structured
to be used at the discretion of the University Librarian, these
important funds will enhance the Library's ability to develop, manage,
and preserve its diverse collections.
The Bancroft Library was delighted to receive from the Tides
Foundation, upon the recommendation of the Pohaku Fund, a gift to
support the Regional Oral History Office's work documenting the history
of the farm labor movement in California. Dolores Huerta, co-founder and
first vice president of the United Farmworkers Union, will provide the
project's initial oral history.
The Charlene Conrad Liebau Fund for the Social Sciences
Collection was established through the generosity of Charlene Conrad
Liebau '60. It is her desire that income from this endowed fund serve
as support for the UC Berkeley Library in furthering the University's
mission of teaching and research in the social sciences. We are thrilled
that Mrs. Liebau, a trustee of the UC Berkeley Foundation, has chosen
the Library to be the recipient of her farsighted generosity.
