I was recently assigned what I thought would be a delightful little processing job, but my previous experience with late 20th century collections in no way prepared me for how long it takes to preservation photocopy 4 cubic feet of brittle paper with a photocopier that thinks it knows best (28.75 hours in case you were wondering). At any rate, I photocopied the last piece of dark, crumbly groundwood paper yesterday and now I'm numbering folders and entering the titles into Archivists' Toolkit. It's so much fun to see it all come together and know that I was responsible for all of it!
Moved that map case, too. Now I just have to move some other things and fill it up.
