Excerpt from The Library of Harvard University: Descriptive and Historical Notes
The first edition of these Notes appeared in 1903, as No. 55 of the Bibliographical Contributions of the Library of Harvard University. At that time the College Library, including the Special Libraries, contained 435,258 volumes, and the University Library comprised a total of 607,214 volumes. In the following eight years the College Library had increased to 625,494 volumes, a gain of forty-three per cent, and the University Library had grown to a total of 980,275 volumes, a gain of over sixty per cent. As much of this growth had been in the line of special collections, a new edition of the Notes was issued as Bibliographical Contribution, No. 60. In the preparation of this second edition the compiler had the able assistance of Mr. Edgar H. Wells, then secretary of the Library Council. In the four years since then the increase in the College Library has been 127,000 volumes and in the University Library 201,000 volumes, or about twenty per cent each. The College Library now contains over 753,000 volumes, and the University Library 1,181,500. In the twelve years since the first edition was published the additions to the College Library have averaged 26,500 volumes a year and to the whole University Library over 47,000.
