Every file box contains a vast variety of material, some of which defy description. For example, the dozen Richard Beal boxes trace the history of publishing through Beal's role as a reviewing consultant. Working for Little Brown, Prentice Hall and many others, from the '50s to the '80s, Beal read manuscripts and proposals of thousands of book projects. Some made it to print; many did not—but the files were painstaking organized, labled and dated. They are a pleasure to peruse and one grad student was able to write a 20-page article based on the contents of one file alone. As another example of the value of our holdings, NACR holds the files from Susan McLeod's 1987 national WAC survey. A current project is underway revisiting the original survey data—and even after 30 years—that data is yielding new and substantial information that will likely inform future WAC practices.
