In 1947 volunteers formed a group called the Clements Library Associates (CLA) to raise money in support of acquisitions. Today all donors of financial gifts and historical materials are included in the CLA. Thank you so much for supporting the Clements through this site. Please note that the deductible portion of your gift does not include the fair market value of the item. However, due to a donor endowed fund that covers Clements publishing projects, the entire amount will be used to further the mission of the Clements Library!
Edited by John C. Dann. University of Michigan, William L. Clements Library, 1998 (Softcover, grayscale printing, 180 pages).
Excerpt from the Editor’s Preface:
“How does one select 101 treasures, when the Library contains thousands of items of similar rarity, and importance, and interest?
The entire curatorial staff took part in the selection process, and the result was a congenial compromise between ‘greatest treasures’ and a display of the breadth and diversity of the collections. We hope, in an enjoyable fashion, to remind scholars and the general public alike that one of the world’s truly great historical libraries is at the University of Michigan, and then to give them some idea of the scope and type of materials it contains.”
—John C. Dann, Library Director
