1. What are the Organization's primary activities?
The Research Libraries Group is a not-for-profit membership corporation
devoted to the mission of "improving access to information that supports
research and learning." Founded in 1974 and incorporated in 1975 by Columbia,
Harvard, and Yale universities and The New York Public Library, RLG became and
is today a pioneer in developing cooperative solutions to the problems that
research collections and their users face in the acquisition, delivery, and
preservation of information.
Today RLG is an international member alliance, including universities and
colleges, national libraries, archives, historical societies, museums and
independent research collections, and public libraries. To develop, coordinate,
and operate their joint initiatives, RLG provides a highly skilled staff,
sophisticated technical resources, and a long, successful track record in
managing and supporting interactions among its members.
In addition to two long-standing cooperative programs, Shared Resources
(SHARES) and Preservation (PRESERV), RLG members pool their expertise, address
challenges to their mission, and create projects to improve local and global
service in some key areas of research collections.
"Primary Sources"
?archives, special collections, manuscripts, rare books,
museum objects, art works, and other rare or unique cultural material?are a
major focus for RLG initiatives, since members represent a significant body of
such holdings and service to the researchers and scholars who need them
