Biographical/Historical note

In 1985, 16 institutions came together to create Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries (PACSCL) as an informal cooperative group with a shared agenda ranging from access to public programs and development. PACSCL has grown in size to over 30 libraries and evolved into a formal organization. PACSCL is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of one representative from each member library. An Executive Committee, consisting of six elected members (four officers and two at-large members), the immediate past chair, and the chairs of standing and ad hoc committees, oversees programs and planning.
