Re: An early Friday Sort-of Funny



Title: RE: An early Friday Sort-of Funny

Thanks .... I will consider changing it.   Meanwhile, I did not really mean to put the Treasurer in the basement  (No's 1 and 3) but only the TREASURES.   And while the orginal Commandments number 10, I couldn't find any way to shrink the archival ones down to less than 12.

While I like Lynne's "commandments" very much,
I do admit to cringing at the phrase "genealogical
archiving" ....   why not try "The 10 Commandments of the
Genealogical Archivist"

I'm having a lot of trouble with the term "archiving" in
the popular attitude.  Most do not equate it with responsible
archival work, but with merely saving everything.
