Over the decades, the Board· of Governors has struck many committees.

Others are standing committees that have existed for years, such as the Nominations Committee and the Property, Grounds, and Safety Committee.

Series consists of records of committees established by the Board through the decades. Many committees were short-lived, established for a particular purpose. There may not be records from all committees that have existed.

The series consists of reports and minutes of committees formed for oversight of the Library, as well as those to which the Librarian has belonged.
