Explore a pioneering catalog of insurance literature and its history, built to guide researchers and practitioners.
This volume documents how the Insurance Library Association of Boston created and organized a library focused on fire and marine insurance. It explains the steps from card-indexing titles to classifying subjects, and notes the value of an index that groups entries by author. The work also discusses the practical hurdles of gathering periodicals, building complete files, and coordinating with publishers and insurers.
- How the library was started, cataloged, and expanded to cover a wide range of insurance topics.
- The classification system and self-descriptive headings used to organize entries.
- The challenges of obtaining missing volumes and complete journal histories.
- The scope, including not only fire and marine insurance but related topics and life insurance entries when necessary.
Ideal for readers interested in the history of insurance literature, librarianship, or the practical work of building a specialized reference collection.
