Good morning,
I am very pleased to announce that thanks to the efforts of Karen Muller, Mary Jo Bolduc, Cara Setsu Bertram, many fine people at ALA, the staff of the ALA Archives in Urbana, Illinois, HathiTrust, the University of Michigan, and Mansell Publishing all 754 volumes of the National Union Catalog, pre-1956 Imprints are available online to the public for free viewing at the following URL:
http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000140237<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__catalog.hathitrust.org_Record_000140237&d=AwMFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=eUhHrji7xksitIhppEPO3cJhU1w7HnO4LyYMLobyx60&m=idd40NiTnC3gRIQz8qycz_3PkL3yQ7F3Kl2VLHF-q2c&s=Gs4cJtjwgzaX9QUHPh3n6dVUy-CejYGdALnszlMCzvY&e=> (you will likely need to zoom in a bit, the original volumes were far larger than most current computer screens)
Less than a month ago I inquired if the ALA would be willing to make this open to public view as one of the copyright holders, and everyone was very enthusiastic and extremely helpful in making that happen (including the ALA archives staff in Urbana who were able to locate the original 1964 publishing contract). Again, thanks to everyone involved for making it possible to access this fantastic resource, and my sincere apologies to anyone whose contribution I failed to mention.
Sincerely,
Eric Willey
