Re: Librarians and Archivists



If you check the site, it was put up by a library school class at
Syracuse University so the relevant question would be: What is being
taught at this institution?

The primary job of the archivist is to determine the best method of
preserving and storing artifacts. These artifacts can be anything from a
locket of hair to a famous painting. Archivists preserve and record
various kinds of artifacts that are of irreplaceable value. Archivists
may work in traditional library settings, but others may experience more
exotic settings, including museums and archaeological sites.

I think I am going to go back and check over my notes from Grad school.

Is this how Archivists are viewed in a Library setting
I trust this is not the universal view
