Archivists rock! (re: Roses)



Just one more comment on this topic - just this week I had one of the professors in the History Department here ask me what it was that I did all day.  It really took me by surprise because I presumed that history professors spent a lot of time doing research with primary sources and would have seen the work of archivists up close.  I guess I expected that they, of all people, would notice the difference between library work and archival work.  So, it looks like we continually need to educate even our regular patrons on what we do.
