Smith's donation was aoapanied by a printed catalogue as wall as by a card catalogue, which In the systmn of catalogui.og described above, iade his collection scinethln7 like a "closed collection" aixi thanks to this, easily accessible. In total, althoui not a sian of great means, Smith donated about $12, 000 in books an soney to the Slavic aM iiusic collections. It was an lressive start, bot ten years after Smith gave the collection to Yale, the University Librarian reported that further additions to this collection were to be limited mainly to periodicals. Interesting data abc,it Joel Sumner Smith are revealed in his letters to frieuds aM family, which were presented to Yale by his grarxison in 1964.. The real beginnln aM steady grwth of the present Slavic aM East Eurcean O,llecticn did not take place ustil after the Secoed World War. Until that tire, there was no Slavic Departsent aM even no courses connected with Slavic studies offered within the fraimaork of other language, literature, or history departments. Because of this, additions to the Smith collection were accidental aM occasional only, meet deperxiin mainly on the casual interests of lxdividual faculty marbers, especially such people as Rostcivtseff aM Petrwkevith, who in nection with thefr own origins may have had interest in a or another title in one of the Slavic languages or subjects. Thus, Smith's fc*iMation st fnxi its real appreciation only after the Seoord World War. Bibliogray by aM about Joel Sumner Smith: Catalogue of Book.
