Re: What do you call your archives?
I feel your pain; recently we moved our College Archives to a new location
out of "the Archives Room". Said room will forever be known as "The Archives
Room," even though it is now exclusively a conference and food hall." Oh
well.

Subject: What do you call your archives?
We're a non-profit organization housed, oddly enough, in the New Hampshire
State Library. I like to call the climate controlled room where we house
our collections "the archives" (call me crazy). Unfortunately, five years
ago it used to be a computer room and it's still known as "the computer
room" to the entire staff (they're stubborn). The room houses wonderful
collections from both aforementioned institutions: oral history, artwork,
political material, artifacts pertaining to NH history etc. etc. It does
not have a computer. Not one. Not a single one. But, it's still "the
computer room."
Big sigh.

PS Once I asked a staff member to meet me at the archives and she came
right down to my office.
