Re: Old Archival Boxes
They sound like food for the dumpster. I say ditch 'em. :)

Subject: Old Archival Boxes
Listserv members,
I have records in dusty,old archival boxes on wooden shelves. Most
of them are actually adhering to the surface of the shelves and have to be
coaxed out by stages.
Question: Would you say these boxes are no longer proper storage
for historical documents? Can they be retained at all or are they
compromised entirely?
I pretty much think they should go, but need colleague support, here
in my yet to be constructed historical documents library (just me, my
computer & empty [limited] space).
thanks,
Sharon (Do I really want to be the first County archivist, ever?)Pullen
