plaques and trash



        The anecdotes regarding irate donors and archives' discards
     reappeared from the trash should serve as a reminder to all of us
     (archivists).  Whether electronic or magnetic tapes, manuscripts,
     images, or artifacts, items should never be accessible again after
     failing the appraisal process.  The type or funding of the repository
     doesn't matter:  there are multiple ways to assure destruction.
