笔者近几年来一直在浙江图书馆从事馆藏清代和民国初期名人信札的整理编目工作。在工作中逐渐认识到这类信札作为馆藏文献的一种类型,具有极其特殊的重要价值。据了解,目前,国内相当一部分大中型图书馆存有各个历史时期各种人物的信札。这部分信礼的价值尚未被人们充分认识,其主要原因是信札的整理与开发利用尚未引起图书馆界的重视。这是一种极大的浪费。 In recent years, the author has been engaged in the collation and cataloging of the celebrity letters in the Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China in the Zhejiang Library. At work, I gradually realized that such letters as a type of collection of documents, has a very special and important value. It is understood that, at present, a considerable part of the domestic large and medium-sized libraries have all kinds of letters of various historical periods. The value of this part of the dedication has not been fully recognized by the people. The main reason for this is that the consolidation and development of letter-taking has not drawn much attention from the library community. This is a great waste.
