A small collection of 8 early printed books resided in the vaults for 70 years, unidentified and uncataloged. This collection was only known to two librarians in UW Libraries Special Collections, and remained unidentified due to lack of time available for catalogers to work with them, and lack of urgency for such materials from researchers. In order to help catalogers begin the cataloging process, I identified and created proto-records for these books, and designed two outreach events for rare books librarians to use in the future that would bring more awareness to the existence of the collection.
