Archives in Libraries?
Abstract
“A good repository for archives and manuscripts should … be open during all reasonable hours, including evenings and lunch hours”. “An old stick used by librarians to beat archivists”. Undoubtedly, however, it is a very distinct advantage to have the archives as part of a department that does not operate a five‐day, nine‐to‐five service. Even if the archives staff themselves work office hours, arrangements can be made for material previously got out to be available in the library's reference or other suitable department during a much longer period. This is always quite impossible in the county hall.
