[78-L] Large University Throwing away records?

[kunst at email.unc.edu]

Just a quick note to point out that the John Edwards Memorial 
Collection actually was transferred to a the Southern Folklife 
Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill, where it is very much intact and is used 
quite heavily by researchers. I know there is no shortage of horror 
stories, but this is not one of them.
