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.

Mary Sicchio
Nickerson Collection
