Re: Archives/records ma



I didn't see the "Touched by an Angel" episode, but what Cecilia Hunter
wrote (quoted below) really hit home for me.  I'm preparing a presentation
on appraisal for librarians, historical society curators, and others who
care for archival materials in their collections, but who are not trained
archivists.  What a great and succinct way to describe one reason why
saving archives is important and why appraisal is so important!  Thanks
Cecilia.
