Friday Frivolities
At the risk of starting another pink dress thread, I was reading
ARCHIVES-L this morning and thought: you know you are an
archivist when...
For me it came after about five years; I was processing a large
ranching collection (back when I got to process collections and do
other such fun things!) and--this being before we thought of getting
a stamp--had been writing "Preston Nutter Corp. Papers" on folders,
over and over and over. The collection is over 150 boxes, so that's a
lot of folder headings. So I went to the store on the way home,
bought some groceries, and started to hand the clerk the check
when I noticed I'd signed it "Preston Nutter Corp." That's when I
knew I was really an archivist.
And a good Friday to you all,
Roy Webb, C.A.
