1921–2026 · THE CARRIED FIGURES WHOLE; THE ENUMERATION A NAMED GAP
The checklist wants the genealogy collection whole — founding shelves, book hunts, the great collection, a periodical index, a national standing — and this library's collection refuses enumeration at every point but three. The three carried figures stand: a collection of more than 50,000 titles; the South Bend Tribune on microfilm from 1960 to about 2002 — the run on which this whole build's press record partly rests; and a local-history shelf with standing local-history reports, the town's memory in the library's keeping. Beyond those, the record reached does not go: no founding-shelves account of a genealogy collection, no book-hunt story, no named great collection, and no PERSI-class periodical index built by this library stands in any source the banked pass or this section reached, and the library's national standing in genealogy — the measure the checklist asks to have stated — cannot be stated, because the holdings that would ground it are unenumerated. The residue is the sources leg's head named gap and this article states it without dressing: the enumeration exists in one place, the library itself — its catalogue and its local-history room — and the errand that settles it is a holdings enumeration from the library, which this section, run without office contact by its orders, does not perform. The collection article therefore closes as the record stands: three figures, one film run, one shelf — and the rest named, not guessed.
