Hello, all,

Recently, I fielded a question from a family donor about what we would
do with that collection if our archives closes, for any reasons.  Has
anyone dealt with this issue?  If so, was an agreement for disposition
worked into the deed of gift?

Although it seems to be a remote possibility, I guess we should operate
in the mode of "never say never."  

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Diane
