Question / Issue
What is an Archive?

Answer / Solution
There’s a fun phrase that goes “The Archives keeps the Archives in the Archives.” As you can see the word has three meanings:  A department that is in charge of maintaining the historical collections of an organization.  The historical collections themselves.  The room(s) or building the historical materials are actually kept in. An easy way to remember is – it’s the “cool old stuff.”
