Subject: [archives] Clarification on Apple Archives at Stanford
To: "Archives & Archivists (A&A) List" <

Hi all,
Just a point of clarification.....
It should surprise no one that the media (including our own student newspaper!) got a part of Apple Archives story wrong. The collection is def. *not* a secret but the materials are located off-site and, like most archives, we do not disclose the actual warehouse's address (due to security and the materials are not browseable). The materials, however, are fully discoverable via an online finding aid and our online catalog record for the collection:
http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/tf4t1nb0n3
http://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/4084835
We have had this collection since the late 1990s and it has been open for scholarship since 1998-99. Lots of researchers have gone through our collection. Why this collection is suddenly being called "secret" is odd, but there it is in all its discoverable glory for all to see.
We welcome all students, scholars and members of the general public to the Field Reading Room to research in our collections. Members of the Stanford community should show a current Stanford I. D. and all non-Stanford users must show a current photo I.D. All users must register upon their first visit.
Best,
Mattie

Apple's Museum That Never Was: Why Does Stanford Keep It Secret? [VIDEO]
Where does the world�s largest collection of
Apple<
http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/>-related
history live? In a fascinating archive owned and operated by Stanford
University <
http://mashable.com/follow/topics/stanford/>.
But good luck actually finding the trove of hardware, software, recorded
interviews, revealing documents, candid photos and internal videos.
Everything is stored in a secret Bay Area location away from the Stanford
campus.
