UM Libraries Celebrates 20 Year Partnership with AICPA Library

Royce Kurtz

Upon receiving the library collection of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) in August 2001, the J.D. Williams Library became “the library of the accounting profession.” Numbering over 129,000 volumes, the collection includes rare incunabula as well as copies of every item cited in the Accountant’s Index since its inception in 1923. Reference staff and graduate assistants offer specialized reference assistance not only to the university community but also to AICPA members. The Libraries have expanded the collection by digitizing selected historical documents, including the Accounting Historians Journal and exposure drafts of the AICPA, much of which is available in eGrove.

The public-domain originals are available in the Library of Congress. While these posters are colorful, and some of them are mildly humorous, they're not meant to make light of the current dire situation in any way, shape, or form.
