Institutional Records and Magazine articles



I am a new art museum archivist dealing exclusively with internal
institutional records on exhibition history and artist reocrds.  My question
deals with Magazine articles relating to an exhibition.  Are original
editions of journals with articles pertaining directly to an exhibition kept
within the archival records?  Or are copies made of the journal, like
newspaper articles.  Does it differ if it is a regular periodical which may
be accessed through your local library fairly easily, like the "New Yorker",
or "Art New England," verses a rarer one such as small art zines, local
literary journals, etc.?? Copying and disposal of a journal is preferred due
to space limitations.  Another option may be copying of a journal article
for the records and storing the original elsewhere - yet is this necessary
if the journal may be accessed through the library?
Any thoughts or advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
