Dear Colleagues:

A few questions for those wearing the hat of University or College 
Archivist.  I'm in the process of creating a Classification System/Guide 
based on the model provided in William Maher's book The Management of 
College and University Archives. Maher's illustration is very helpful, 
but I would love to see other examples of Classification Guides that 
folks are utilizing in academic archives.  I'd also be very interested 
to hear any advice (e.g., do this; don't do this) regarding the 
establishment of Classification Guides.  And finally, I'm curious to 
know how many folks incorporate or use functional analysis in some 
manner (as laid out by Helen Samuels in her book Varsity Letters) to 
guide them in appraising and arranging University records.

Any thoughts, opinions, and insight would be most welcome and 
appreciated.  I receive the messages in digest form, so a response to me 
directly would also be appreciated.

Thank you,
Mary
