Re: In Search of the Humourous Archivist



Does anyone remember the 1983 SAA Chicago performance of "Raiders of the Lost Archives?"  

Our much missed colleague, Marion Matters, orchestrated this compilation of skits and parodies.  Some of the participants whom I can recall at this late date are Pat Quinn, Dennis Meissner, Mary Klauda, Debbie Kahn (of MN Hist. Soc.), Anne Kenney and a host of others ( including me).  Somewhere there is a script.  This presentation was videotaped, but I doubt much could be left of it after 17 years!  Needless to say, those of us participating at the time were mere babes.   We had a good time!

BTW:  Many of the funniest, wittiest people I know are archivists, who definitely do not disguise this characteristic in any way!!  :):)
