I believe I have seen a ref to St Lawrence as patron saint of archivists on
one of the US websites.
Think he was a martyr to Christianity actually! Do not think I would
undergo barbecuing alive on a grid in the cause of (eg) ISAD(G) or a better
strongroom... Although cannot remember the story of his life - what is
meant by donor restrictions, Patricia??
