March 25 Today is celebrated as New Year's Day in the Kingdom of Gondor, for
it is the anniversary of Sauron's fall. Despite his power as a wizard,
Gandalf needed to perform archival research to confirm his suspicions about
the true nature of the Ring, thus setting in motion the events that led to
the end of the Third Age. Tolkien's personal and academic papers, as well as
most of his literary manuscripts, are at Oxford University's Bodleian
Library <http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/>, but Marquette University in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has an extensive J.R.R. Tolkien collection
<http://www.marquette.edu/library/collections/archives/tolkien.html> that
includes the original manuscripts and multiple working drafts for The Hobbit
(1937), Farmer Giles of Ham (1949), and The Lord of the Rings (1954-1955).

The Archivist’s Daybook is another service to the profession of the Society
of Southwest Archivists (http://www.southwestarchivists.org). In it you will
find information about continuing education and professional development
opportunities for archivists around the world. We welcome the opportunity to
promote your archival event and especially encourage non-North American
archival meeting planners to list their event with us (there is, of course,
no charge for listing your event in the Archivist's Daybook). Please help us
promote your event by letting us know
<mailto:[log in to unmask] Daybook> of your meeting,
seminar, or workshop by emailing [log in to unmask]
