I saw the story.  Yeah, I noticed some of those things too.  Of course
I'm not an "archivist" and do not have the specific experience and
knowledge in archival storage/preservation.  However, I thought to
myself "well surely they have a qualified archivist, expert in
preservation, etc....managing all of that stuff."  But maybe not!

Did anybody else happen to see the fascinating story on CBS Sunday
Morning 
last Sunday on the Bill Graham memorabilia collection?  It was purchased

by a gentleman named Bill Sagan and is a drove of stuff on rock-n-roll.
He 
showed some posters out of Bill Graham's private R-n-R show collection 
which he said is priceless.  The part that concerned me was that it
showed 
the area they were stored in- a beautiful brick loft area BUT no vault, 
stuff including audio/video tapes on shelves and windows to the outside.

If this collection is truly worth an estimated 50-100 million dollars
Hugh 
needs to get on the phone for a vault ( Hugh- remember where this lead 
came from).  For more information on this story go to the CBS Sunday 
morning web-site.

Have a great day
