Today I had the opportunity to meet with Sarah Burge. As an undergrad she majored in Art and Art history. As a graduate student Sarah studied library science and focused on book and paper preservation. She has been working at the Yale Medical Library for five years. She is working on a project called "Locked Stacks", which is to preservative the rare books of the library. These historical books are very different from today's books, so they need special care. The library has about 120,000 rare bound books. Most of these books have been donated to the library. I really enjoy the interview with Sarah today.
