Re: archives mystery needed



Too bad that our friend, Mr Edweird Gorey is no longer with us to illustrate
your "dark and stormy night" in the archives!  I'm sure we've all
experienced that eerie feeling late, after hours in the deserted stacks
among the grey monotony of countless Hollinger (R) boxes... BOO!

Greetings...

This probably happens to every archivist who fancies himself/herself a
writer, but I'm writing an archives mystery.  I know it's been done before,
but in my daydreams I'm the Margaret Truman of the archives mystery genre.

I've managed to hit a snag, however, right at the beginning:  I need a
crime!  I've subscribed to the museum security network to see if I can get
any ideas of items which have ALREADY been stolen from archives...I'm
floundering here.  Are there any other sites which would give me some ideas
(this is making me sound like a would-be criminal, sorry!)

Thanks everyone!
Amy
