Please see the message below from Bernadette Callery re: a possible session 
proposal that is still in need of speakers. If you are interested in speaking 
or are able to give Bernadette suggestions for speakers, please contact her. 
Bernadette will coordinate the actual proposal submission to SAA. You may also 
use this listserv as a forum to generate an exchange of ideas re: possible speakers. 
Please be sure to copy Bernadette (calleryb@carnegiemnh.org), as she is experiencing 
technical difficulties with the listserv at the moment. – Joan Echtenkamp Klein

Here's a sketch of a possible session proposal initiated by the Museum Archives 
section in combination with the Business Archives section. We're still looking 
for speakers. I'll be happy to coordinate this effort - as I'd be interested in 
further investigating the question of access to collection records of material 
collected on federal land, but held in non-federal museums.

Thanks, Bernadette Callery

Title: Partners or Problems: Issues of Distributed Custody of Deposit Collections

Papers presented at this session could include 
- issues of ownership, appraisal and access in situations where the holding 
	archive is not the owning archive
- access to affiliated archives holding federal records, which could include 
	records of the US Naval Academy at West Point
- parallels in museum collections, such as paleontological and archaeological 
	specimens made on federal land, but housed in non-federal museums or the WPA 
	art, which, though federally-owned, is on deposit in non-federal museums. And 
	since the records accompanying these specimen collections may be in the institutional 
	archives, this is another potential point of contention of ownership and access.
