From another office, which should also remain anonymous: The Friends annual Christmas card. And how many business deposits have that well loved accessory of a departed senior staff member. I recall 'Mr Graham's pencil' from one collection. Not to mention to part smoked Churchill cigars.... But museum colleagues are much more inclusive. Birds nests and lots of mid 20th century domestic bills (when one such collection would more than suffice)....

In a previous office we had an index card (so presumably part of some accession record) that read - in its entirety - 'letter, not dated, illegible' And from an office that should probably remain anonymous, a cornflakes box and a yoghurt pot (both without contents). Jenny Jenny Moran Record Office for Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland -----Original Message----- From: Archivists, conservators and records managers. [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Caroline Adams Sent: 19 November 2010 11:25 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: For a Friday afternoon. Last Sunday I took in a very doubtful accession - from someone who has been responsible for making sure we have one of the most important estate archives here. The front cover was inscribed 'Sussex Churches' and the first page had six photos (sepia) of some interior sculptures in the cathedral. That was it. The rest of the book was missing. It was a done deal because someone had bought it from a car boot sale specially for this office, and the person who passed it on was the intermediary. She had said how nice the sepia photos were to the original donor. My colleagues weren't very happy... However, it compares well with the picture of the cat who died in Steyning, and the photo of bricks in Balcombe viaduct, both of which have been accessioned. Can anyone beat these?
