Re: Terms in use - "Archives"



Indeed! I have yet to hear someone who actually takes stuff to a dump call the place a sanitary landfill" or, as it's called where I came from in California,  the "refuse disposal site!"

As for substituting, this reminds me of what is happening in the field formerly known as "library science," now called "information science."  (I'm very put out that the school I graduated from, formerly a SLIS, removed "library" from its name and is now just a school of information science). I don't hear very many people saying "I need to do some research; guess I'll go over to the public information science center."

Now there's a concept! I'm sure some of the larger public information science centers could use some of those!
