The Collection Moves to West Point
The books and other articles will eventually reside in the Academy's Archives in a renovated Cullum Hall. However, in 2023 they had to be relocated from the author's home outside of Philadelphia to West Point's Jefferson Library in time for the Class of 1998 Reunion.
This happened on Wednesday, August 30, but not before many weeks of packing the collection by the author.
The collection in it's "native" state. Only about 75% of it. The rest was in another set of bookcases upstairs. Note plastic sheeting that pulls down to keep dust off. Also there is a de-humidifier nearby running constantly.
The items were packed in "bankers" boxes lined with a plastic bag. In this picture pulp fictions stories and comic books in protective folders were being "boxed up." Each box had an identifying code and included a packing list of the enclosed items.
All boxed up and ready for transport. There were 40 boxes in all - requiring the rental of a U-Haul van.
Ready for Road - Wedesday a.m.
