Donations made to our Library have a ripple effect on insurance
libraries the world over. In countries where resources are
particularly scarce, we have been collecting materials and shipping
them overseas. Material has been sent to business libraries in
Chisnau and Prague; academic libraries in the Philippines and
Bermuda; a documentation center in Brazil; the National Insurance
Library of Nigeria; and insurance libraries in Ghana, Bermuda and
Puerto Rico.
