National Fire Protection Association (Charles S. Morgan Technical Library)

The Charles S. Morgan Technical Library of the National Fire Protection Association will treat Edwin O. Sach’s important work, Fires and Public Entertainments: A Study of Some 1100 Notable Fires at Theatres, Music Halls, Circus Buildings and Temporary Structures during the Last 100 Years (1897). This book, which is frequently consulted by a wide range of researchers, has suffered greatly from water damage and is in a highly fragile state. In addition to the conservation treatment, the library will digitize the book, making a scanned copy available free of charge on its Web site.
