One more response to the question about already written stories: the May
2000 issue of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine includes a story called "Maureen
Walsh" in which the muderer is a librarian (I"m not giving anything away;
this is clear pretty early in the plot). The  good news is that the
librarian is not a shy timid person with a bun and tennis shoes, but
actually is aggressive enough to be the murderer (stabbed her husband seven
times in the back). The bad news is that the librarian has a terrible
personality: manipulative, rude, mean, etc.  Oh, well... You win some, you
lose some.

I know this is a librarian and not an archivist, but since I fulfill both
functions, I often equate the two, and my impression is that archivists
suffer from an image problem similar to that of librarians.
