| Abstract | Four major areas of concern in library and archive collections and programs have been identified which must be addressed if future scholars are to have access to primary source material documenting the German-American experience. The most obvious of these is the absence of archival collections documenting the experiences of German-Americans who have arrived since the end of World War II. The second is that post-1830 German-American imprints originally considered to be a popular nature have not been systematically acquired by research libraries. Related to this problem is the third area of concern, the absence of a comprehensive bibliography of German-American imprints published since 1830. Fimally, the fourth and most pressing of the concerns to be discussed in this paper is the current lack of a cooperative program to assure the preservation of German-American materials printend on acid-content paper. |
