Colleagues, I have been asked by a colleague to inquire with subscribers to this listserv as to any anecdotes or citations to articles about collections that have either been sold or donated to an archives when the "donor" did not legally own the collection but is "donating" or "selling" them as if he or she did and what, if any, problems transpired as a result of the transaction. I would be interested in any responses. Thanks. -- Louis Jones, CA Archivist III SEIU and CtW Archivist Walter P.
