Re: Yet another (shameless) request for advice.



To be brutally honest, the museum technique of assigning
every piece of paper an accession number, is at complete
odds with archival science.    It is far better to group materials,
personal papers, photographs, scrapbooks, and describe
them in groups:

Correspondence
        1943    Letters to friends and family concerning (subjects).    58
items.
