I wonder how many other archivists have encountered this line of conversation at dinner parties, clubs, and social gatherings:

        "So what do you do for a living?"

        "I'm an archivist."

        "An archivist, eh.  Have you designed any buildings that I'd recognize?"

        "Probably not."
