Abstract

Provenance research in rare book and cultural heritage collections has pedagogical value that should encourage information professionals to incorporate it into their research and teaching practice. Its value extends to building deeper connections with faculty and students and enriching the body of knowledge surrounding the collection. This article reviews the literature addressing the value of provenance research in rare book collections and discusses a case study of provenance research at the Frick Fine Arts Library at the University of Pittsburgh. Evidence of value is provided through the resulting curriculum collaboration and knowledge development.
