Mold outbreak threatens rare book collection

After an appraiser was asked to evaluate the American Bible Society’s Rare Book Collection, he came to an alarming discovery — an active mold outbreak was attacking more than 1,100 irreplaceable volumes. Located in New York City, the Library is the largest collection of Bibles in North America, with 4,700 volumes, which includes rare bibles dating back to the 13th century. More than 300 languages are represented in the Rare Book Collection, including early printed Bibles and a small collection of manuscripts.
