Cooperative, contract or other "joint archives"
Can you help?
A year and a half ago I posted an e-mail looking to identify archival
repositories in the United States that worked with other institutions to
preserve archival materials. At that time I got a handful of responses and
several good leads. Now I am beginning to start my research in earnest on my
sabbatical and could use your help -- if you know of an archives that does one
of the following (or something remotely similar) could you e-mail me their
names or a lead?? I would appreciate your help!:
- An archives that provides contractual or non-contractual archival services
(on or off site) for another institution.
- A "joint" archival facility that houses more than one institutional
collection at their repository.
- Any repository that shares professional archival staff (or other services)
with another institution (eg. sharing an archivist)
- Organizations that come together to fund an archives or archival staff.
- Any failed (or not yet completed) initiative along these lines.
ANY thoughts or ideas would be welcome. They can be private or non-profit.
Any type to cooperation which has a goal of preserving archival materials I
would like to know about.
Please respond either to the list or privately to me at Wagenaar@hope.edu
THANK YOU for taking a moment to respond.
