Re: Liberry Skule



I say an archivist is to historical records and manuscript materials what a
librarian is to books.  We take care of them and make them accessible.

A bit simplistic but people usually nod like they get the point.

like to know what people say when trying to explain what archivists do.
Everyone must have a pat speech put to memory that they drag out at the
doctor's office or cocktail party. How do you explain in 20-50 words or
less what you do?
