Archivists: those curious creatures

For everyone who has ever wondered what an archive is and how it is run and were too afraid to ask, here is a wonderful video put together by Bob Stewart in 1990 to help explain what an archive is and how it is organised. It's a fun and hilarious video, I really recommend watching it, and he was one of the best archivists in the field. The B.C. Conference of the United Church of Canada is actually naming their archives the Bob Stewart Archives after this remarkable man. Here is his video:
