Re: Question for College and University Archivists



Title: RE: Question for College and University Archivists

How about suggesting she give it to another faculty member in her father's department?  (I take it her father is deceased.)  Maybe a younger, but tenured, faculty member who is likely to remain at your institution for the foreseeable future.  The hood may not be correct, but many people have their own hoods.  A good quality robe and cap are expensive to purchase, and the rentals add up, too.  Someone might be honored to have it.  I know of an instance here at Hiram College where that worked out well.

List,

An alumna, the daughter of an emeritus faculty member,  has offered our
archives her father's academic regalia. This does not fit any of our
collections. I have not replied to the offer. Nor do I have a good
suggestion for a suitable (or obvious) recipient.

Frankly, the only place on campus that might accept such garments is the
theater department. It occurs to me that if this is suggested, it might
sound like the next best thing to a thrift shop (no matter how adroitly the
suggestion is made).

Can someone on the list suggest a good alternative?

Thanks,
