Why Do Archivists Get Rid Of Things (And Enjoy It)?

quote [ My message to the public, to administrators, and managers is this: next time you see an archivist discarding papers into the recycling bin, kindly ask how they came to that tough verdict rather than undermining our years of experience and training by gasping in horror at our actions. We would love to show you our thought process. We have the receipts…actually we don’t because we threw those away. ]

cool opinion piece on how collections are to be maintained.
