Thread:User talk:Armondikov/Libraries

I don't get too overwhelmed by books, I guess just cause i've lived around libraries. (why when I grew up we actually had to use en-cy-ko-pedias that some salesman sold our moms...) But in Grad school, one of my part time jobs was working for the State Archivist, in the Native American collection. The amount of "stuff" that we hold, just at a single university out of 1000s of universities and storage libraries, out of hundreds of countries that maintain such archives blows me away.

I couldn't imagine crawling around the archives of the Library of Congress, or the Smithsonian, or the British National History Museum.
