History
Susan Garretson Swartzburg (1938–1996), Preservation Librarian at Rutgers’ Alexander Library, founded the Princeton Preservation Group. In Fall 1981, I took Susan’s class, Preservation of Library Materials, in the School of Library Science, Rutgers University-New Brunswick. At the time, I was Archivist at Educational Testing Service (ETS). As the class came to an end, Susan invited the students to talk about their term projects at her home in Princeton. We were joined by several librarians, archivists, and conservators. My theme was preservation of
photographs. Subsequently, Susan invited me to attend the following
sessions, either at her home or at her apartment near Rutgers.
