Pruitt on Junius Riggs

Paul M. Pruitt, Jr., University of Alabama Law School, has published Good and Faithful Servant: Marshal and Librarian Junius M. Riggs and the Supreme Court Library of Alabama, in the Law Library Journal 115 (2023): 435.  The article “follows the career of Junius Riggs (1851–1943), who was librarian of Alabama’s Supreme Court Library from 1874 to 1934. Riggs built the library’s holdings from 3,000 to 55,000 volumes. The article covers Riggs’s presence during controversial times; it also analyses his printed bibliographies.”
