Another thing that happens to card catalogues is that they can be digitised and made searchable, giving an interim form of OPAC pending full retroconv.

CERL has a list of some digitised card catalogues on its web site : http://www.cerl.org/CERL/Digitised%20Card%20Catalogues.pdf as part of a list of on-line rare books resources at http://www.cerl.org/CERL/cerl.htm, menu item "Other resources".

If you know of other examples of digitised card catalogues of collections with early printed books (pre-1830), we would be pleased to add them to this list.

I know card catalogs have been dispensed with, or consigned to back rooms to collect dust, but has anyone ever accepted a card catalog, or a variation, for example a card catalog created as an index, for donation?
Thank you for your help.
