Miss Peck

Posted by Amy the Archivist on January 21, 2011
Miss Harriet Peck was the first RPI librarian. She was hired in 1912 when a small library for the Institute was designated for a library, which contained about 9000 volumes. Miss Peck had a degree in library science and experience working in public libraries. She immediately went to work creating the first card catalog for the book collection at RPI.
