The lack of preservation-centered binding design, like blank sheets between documents, resulted in image transfer and light damage between documents for both 1876 and 1926. Archivists have identified preservation needs and materials are under examination for treatment, to be ready for the next great ALA anniversary.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-3400 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/10\/9701021a_Box2_Signatures.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/10\/9701021a_Box2_Signatures-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-3866\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-3866'>\n\t\t\t\tAn 1853 Correspondence  scrapbook page with signatures.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/10\/0560076a_Scrapbook_1876_Poole_Letter.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/10\/0560076a_Scrapbook_1876_Poole_Letter-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-3864\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-3864'>\n\t\t\t\tA fading, taped letter from William F.
