NOTICE — NORTH HOUSE — ARCHIVE
G. Sørhaug relinquishes the correspondence series (COR, all years) on
30 November after nineteen years. The section passes to L. Abernethy.
Until 13 January the series is closed to additions. Items for filing
are held in the box on the cold-room table and are entered in the order
received when the section reopens. Nothing is refused and nothing is
returned.
The outgoing and incoming holders sit together on the six Saturdays
before the date above. This is not a courtesy; a shelf that has been
kept by one person for nineteen years is only half in the catalogue and
the other half is in her head.
The sequence of holders since 1977 is written on the card at the end of
the run. It now has six names on it.
— M. Evensen, Steward
The section reopened on 13 January 2025. Eleven items were held during the closure and all eleven were entered.
