Thanks to Library refurbishment we have a new modern rare materials
reading room, but our few remaining card index catalogues are still held
in some battered wooden units that now look horribly out of place.
Pending our transferring this data to our computer catalogue, we need a
modern-looking set of drawers to accommodate about 10 feet of 7.5cm x
12.5cm index cards; preferably metal or metallic in appearance, grey or
black or some such colour. It seems to be harder and harder to source
card index drawers these days (I can find little boxes for a few inches'
worth, but not full-scale drawers) - has anyone recently bought anything
of this nature and if so could they share the supplier's name with me?
(Off-list, I suppose, lest it look like advertising - if anyone wants to
share the information I'll send it on.)
Thanks,
Chris Hilton
