I would contact the Library of Michigan as they have an extensive Michigan collection. They also maybe of assistance in collecting items that you no longer want, and they need.

They  also may be able to help you with guiding you to the best resources.

Greetings, everyone!

We are in the process of evaluating a large collection of books pertaining to state or local history, most uncatalogued, that have been living in our basement storage. We also have a small local history room where some of these will eventually be placed.

My question: To what extent do you physically process older books? How do you evaluate "older", if these receive specific treatment?

Many thanks as I wade in over my head in "archival" materials handling!
