Abstract

The Mathematics Library at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is currently housed in Altgeld Hall, a building established in 1897 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Altgeld Hall is set to undergo restoration starting summer 2023. When construction begins, the entire mathematics collection will be moved and housed in a temporary location for the duration of the building restoration project. This presentation aims to share preliminary information on the collection management processes utilized to realign the physical bound collection to a size that can be accommodated in the transitional space. Due to the historic significance of the library, this information will be shared through the scope of preservation, including strategies that have succeeded and issues encountered, in order to provide insight to this process and initiate dialog with fellow librarians in similar situations.
