University of Florida President Robert Q. Marston enters the Rare Book area of Library West. He states that the Howe Collection will be housed there in this attractive space. Sidney Ives, curator of the Rare Book Collection, tells how it was initially built by Henry Salton Howe starting in 1864 who was later joined by his son Parkman Dexter Howe.
