These repositories should have proper grown up curators. A little while back we were supposed to get upset that the museum of London was getting rid of some curators. In as much that this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curator
is what a curator might do if the term had not be bastardised by civil servant planners. I cant say that I recognise anybody ?involved with the interpretation of heritage material? in my local museum.. Maybe you have to ask? is it a museum if it does not have curators in it who cover the whole of the finds in it.
As it stands bundling up the whole archive into one washed and wrapped package only really enables the museums get rid of their curators. Without curators there will be nobody to study the material and there is no point to archiving anything..
