Just wondering what one should put in the <origination> element when the
collection is one that your library has put together itself over the
years via purchases, etc. (for example, a collection of local history
documents and ephemera) ?  Do you leave it blank, put your institution
name in with perhaps role="collector," or something else?  The EAD
Application Guidelines don't specifically address this.
