September 12, 2005: Yale's Beinecke Library Asked to Cede Texts to Pequot Library of Southport, Conn
"The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library currently holds the collection, which were loaned to Yale for safekeeping in 1952 by the Pequot Library of Southport, Conn. But some of Pequot's current trustees have asked the University to return the documents, and the suburban library has alleged in a court application that Yale officials threatened to terminate protection of the documents unless Pequot ceded ownership of the collection to the University."
