I'm at the very end of organizing the CSJ collection:
I actually spent five hours copying files yesterday - there are newspaper articles dating back to the 70s. That kind of paper disintegrates - so there's no reason for us to hold on to it. That is weird for me. I don't come from a museum background, or anything, but getting rid of originals was difficult. I held on to them until the last minute - but then I managed to fill a recycling bin twice! (And use almost an entire ream of paper for copies.)
Almost done...then I get to write a finding aid!
