Re: archives mystery needed



Amy-
I love the idea.  My classmates and I in graduate school had playfully
discussed writing a play called "Murder In The Archives."  We were going to
have the particularly grumpy old codger archivist snuffed out by a
disgruntled TA.  After the fact another "collection" mystery would unfold.
Alas, our Nancy Drew dreams never were put to paper.  Good Luck!
