Just saw a great "Portrait Of A Bank" ad for Bank of America on during the Olympics. It features Kathleen Collins, Corporate Archivist for Bank of America.
"We have so many stories in the archives...
If you know what's worked in the past, there's no question about what you should be doing in the present and in the future...
(I learned on an archivist mailing list that its actually an old ad from at least January, but I guess I'm just more aware of things featuring librarians and archivists these days...)
Turns out that the corporate archives are in SF... might be a fun place for a class field trip:
Conditions of Access: Primary service for internal Bank needs; non-bank requests addressed as time permits.
Holdings: 1870 to present; bulk dates 1904 to present
Description: correspondence, minutes, reports, publications, photographs, advertisements, ledgers, artifacts, relating to founder Amadeo P. Giannini and the history of Bank of America, Bank of Italy, and other banks subsumed under these corporations.
