Donated collection featured in UK online publication

By Glenn Drexhage on October 27, 2009

An article about the recently donated David and Anne Drazin Croquet Collection, a unique collection focused on croquet, appears in the UK publication Croquet World Online.

“My work on this collection is well completed: It not only has a home, but the best possible home, with the best of care, in perpetuity,” says donor David Drazin. The collection, which was donated to UBC Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections division in 2009, includes some 2,000 items.

The article, “Finding a home for the croquet collection,” features a profile of Drazin and a firsthand account of how he built his collection and found a home for it at UBC.
