Correct me if I'm mistaken but I believe I heard somewhere that the agreement 
with University of Akron is in the latter part of it's existence with the 
expiration date coming down the track.

I do not know the details of the agreement (common sense dictates that there 
must be one), but if this is the case, is anyone considering what will be done 
with the archives? Will they be able to remain in OH or will they have to be 
removed? As was mentioned in another post, there are many costs involved in 
maintaining archives.

If this is the case (renewal or relocation), how will this be handled 
financially? I would imagine that it would take more than just contributions but 
since I don't know the particulars, I'm just not certain.

In either case (renewal or relocation), when I first heard of this, my 
immediate thought was "hey, how about writing a grant proposal." Will Shultz is 
correct. There is plenty of money out there that is available for archival 
purposes.

Will someone inform the list as to the status of the archives agreement? Or 
by asking, is yet another can or worms being opened? I should hope not as that 
is not my intention.
