Re: Patron Saint for archivists



Many, many years ago when I was just a fledging archivist, I ran across the
fact that in Chinese mythology there is an Archives God. Can's remember
his/her name. However, my though is why seek a "saint" of the archives when
there is a "god" of the archives available. Anyone remember the name?

In our family, we've always prayed to St. Anthony whenever we need to find
something hopelessly lost or mislaid.  As the Patron Saint of Lost Causes,
St. Anthony seems the perfect "go to guy" for members of the archival
profession (certified or not).
