Urban Archives

For those of you who have not ever had the opportunity to search through archives, here are a few instructions

notes can only be taken in PENCIL or on a computer
all other items must be left in a locker

When you arrive you will be asked to fill out a form
put on the form the title of the collection, the URB number and part, and the boxes you want to the archivist
they will retrieve the boxes for you
each box will have a number of folders in it, take out ONE AT A TIME the folder you wish to use, and try to keep the documents in order within the folder (trust me these are often meticulously put in order)
remember that the documents are at least 30 years old and somewhat fragile, so be extremely DELICATE in handling them

Also look at the titles of other folders, read other documents than the ones I have given you, you never know what you might find.

Good luck
