Paper Trail: A Mess of Gore Vidal Papers Becomes a Priceless Archive When Gore Vidal gave his manuscripts, notes, and letters to Harvard in 2002, Houghton Library--home to a number of noteworthy archives--so impressed the author that he bequeathed his entire $37 million estate to the university upon his death. As Vidal's gift wends its way through the legal system (his half-sister has challenged his will), some of his papers sit in boxes waiting to be cataloged in the basement office of Houghton curator Leslie Morris. Here, Morris explains how a collection like Vidal's makes the journey from boxes of stuff to a researchable archive. http://bit.ly/1kvH7Rw Source: http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/article/2014/03/04/gore-vidal-archive/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1kvH7Rw+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
