I had a friend e-mail me the Roper URL:
http://www.kingfeatures.com/features/comics/sroper/about.htm
Today's posting to the web site has a character setting off to search for a
negative in the newspaper's files. She tells her friend "I oughta be
finished by tomorrow afternoon."
Oooh, the suspense is building. Will she meet an archivist? Will she have
a good experience? Will the photos be organized following a topical
arrangement, or will they be filed in chronological order? Will she be
required to wear white cotton gloves? Will she be able to use a
computerized index to call up a digitized image? Will the index meet EAD
requirements? Will she care?
Oooh.
