IN 1976 THE QUEENS LIBRARY acquired the morgue of the New York Herald Tribune, an eminent New York City newspaper which ceased publication in April 1966. Over the last ten years the Library has made the contents of the morgue, which comprise some five mil­ lion clippings and 200,000 photographs, available to researchers and scholars, while selecting material pertinent to its other collec­ tions for preservation, or duplication and inclusion in them. At this time the Library finds it beyond its resources to continue to house and service the entire morgue. It therefore offers the entire newspa­ per clipping file to any non-profit organization capable of housing it. By way of description, it may be said that contents are limited to the early years of this century on to the time of the newspaper's demise. Representation prior to 1910 is very thin, with increasingly higher representation of each decade to the 1960’s. The clipping files are arranged in separate alphabets for the following categories: Subject, Biographical, Dead, Celebrity, By-line. There is a card file of subject headings, with cross-references, to the subject files. Letters of in­ quiry should be sent by 15 March 1989 to: C.F.J. Young, Long Is­ land Division, Central Library, 89-11 Merrick Boulevard, Ja­ maica, NY 11432. Arrangements for examination of the morgue can be made with Mr. Young.
