Disposing of the Archives?
« Thread Started on Yesterday at 3:25pm »
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings all,
Amy and I will most likely be moving to a new condominium within the next two months or so. We won't have nearly as much storage space as in the old house on the South Side, so we will be doing a lot of triage and disposing of things we no longer need. A lot of my language and history books that I don't use, for instance, may find a new home at the UWM Library (thanks to Geoff, who has connections!)
But this raises the issue of the Talossan National Archives -- thousands of pages of primary documentation as well as videos and other recordings, all those priceless hand-written Støtanneux, and basically everything that made Talossa what it was.
I have no idea what to do with all of it.
It's sitting in our attic in a giant blue plastic bin and probably weighs at least two hundred pounds.
Nobody from the Fritz-the-Book-Thief cult or the Gruber-the-Woman-Beater cult has ever expressed the slightest interest in having the archives. (Which, by itself, is interesting psychological proof that neither group feels any particular nostalgic ties to the real Talossa that lived from 1979 to 2005.)
My first impulse is simply to throw it away. My second is to sell it to the highest bidder, but (see previous paragraph) there is no highest bidder, or lowest for that matter.
If anyone is here, I would be curious to know what options you suggest. I know I'll keep the Byzantine coin, but the rest of it, is all disposable to me.
Ben

The l’Üniversità Talossán Library, located on Isle Cézembre, would be most honored to accept your important and historic documents to the collection.
Should there be an opportunity for us to discuss either by electronic mail or via telephone the logistics of such a transfer, I can be reached at pbailey AT esri DOT com, or 303-520-0200.
Sincerely,
X. Pôl Brigâ
