Arthuriana

This post is really a message for those who were members of the Oxford Arthurian Society; sorry to those on my Flist (most of you) to whom it's of no interest.

Sorting through piles of papers, I recently rediscovered* three boxfiles full of ArthSoc stuff - Presidential and Secretarial, so essentially meetings of committee meetings and the like. (Some of you probably have a better idea of the specific contents than I do:) I don't want to have to keep them forever more, but don't want to throw them away unless I have to, so unless anyone objects I'm proposing to try and find a suitable collection at the Bod to give them to. Anyone who wishes to object is welcome to do so, provided they suggest an alternative plan that doesn't involve me keeping the things for more than another month or two ;-)

* I knew they were in the house somewhere, but hadn't seen them since we moved and wasn't going to go looking specifically. But now that I've found them....

We now return you to your normally scheduled LJ-ing.

I suspect the University Archives would be the best repository. I need to resist any temptation to take the files over myself!

I thought University society archives were _meant_ to go to the Bod / Uni Archives in the event of the society being wound up - there certainly used to be something about it in Proctor's Regs.

I would be surprised if the John Johnson collection (at the Bod) didn't take them. If they're not interested I suppose we need to make other plans.
