Shelf history
Shelf company history timeline
In 1850, Henri Labrouste’s Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, also in Paris, placed the reading room atop a multilevel stack, yet kept the reference collection in two-tiered shelves in the reading room.
Herbert Gehr, “Home Storage,” Life, 1945.
A few years later, in 1960, Rams introduced his still-popular 606 Universal Shelving System.
For more on the evolution of closed and open stacks, see Donald E. Oehlerts, Books and Blueprints: Building America’s Public Libraries (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1991).7.
