This is really interesting question! There ia a report about what was exist
and how many left but I never seen SURVEY f.e. under LoC telling us numbers
in collections.
Indiana, Santa Barbara, LoC, etc.
This will be also good for ARSC to know because Archival boxes (arsc ACB).
So, not only question about numbers but also if they are rehoused in new
archival boxes, how many of them is catalogued/ digitized/ access etc
Is it possible to ask someone from arsc executive board?
Regards
Filip
