Dear Listserve: Do you have any advice for a small archive who has received two requests from a neighboring archive on two differing collections that they feel should be in their archive. One Collection in question orginated from our College Librarian who happened at one time (1970-1980)to be head of the organization who created these papers. The other archive states that it is their mission to collect the current papers of this organization. These papers are fully cataloged with OCLC and local listings. Are we obligated to give up our collection? There is no formal deed of gift.
