Good point!
But I have also observed individuals
with no formal training or related degree who work with historical
collections labeling themselves "Archivist" without a second thought. When
allowed to continue, this compromises the importance of our profession and our
work as professional archivists. This may not be our biggest
problem, but in terms of the public's impression of archivists is it any wonder
that things aren't always clear?
