Dear colleagues,
At Oxfordshire Record Office we are currently considering ideas for new and
more popular stock in our sales area. Presently, there is only a limited
selection of booklets on local sources in the shop.
We are surveying our users' opinions of course, but would be grateful to
know of any 'best-seller' products in other record office shops. In
particular, I would be interested to hear from repositories that sell
merchandise which is produced with images from documents in their holdings
(e.g. postcards, posters, maps, facsimiles). Recommendations regarding stock
items, suppliers, or price ranges would be helpful. I would also appreciate
any words of warning or advice from those with experience of planning in
this area.
Retail skills: yet another string required in the archivist's bow!
Please reply off-list.
