<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Hello, I am interested in hearing about how other public libraries handle their organizational archives (i.e., materials <EM>about</EM> the library, not special collections or local history), particularly the arrangement or classification system used for filing the materials.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A few years ago, our library's organiational archives was processed as though it were a finite collection, with a published and bound finding aid. This makes it very difficult to add new materials, so I am looking for ideas about how other libraries handle their institutional archives.</FONT></DIV>
