Scope and Content

A library accession book created by Melville Dewey and kept by the Stonington Free Library from 1931 to 1939. The first few pages contain an explanation of how to use the book and helpful abbreviations. Data included in this accession volume includes: accession number, author, title, place and publisher, year published, number of pages, size, binding material, source, cost, class, book and volume. The remarks column on the far right is mainly used to record discards or deaccessions. This volume also has a list of four books typewritten and pasted to the front flyleaf. It is unclear whether these were accessioned or not.
