Description

This exhibition is arranged according to the classification scheme developed for the Grolier Club Library in 1901–1910 by Henry Watson Kent, the Club’s first professional librarian. Kent had been a student in Melvil Dewey’s first class at the newly formed Columbia School of Library Service, and the Grolier classification scheme owes much to the Dewey Decimal System.
