Comments<br />
ALA: The Society <strong>of</strong> American<br />
Archivists recommends revising the<br />
definition as follows:<br />
A collection <strong>of</strong> resources not<br />
published, distributed, or produced<br />
together but assembled by a library, a<br />
cataloguing agency, a previous owner,<br />
a dealer, etc., or created and/or<br />
accumulated and used by a particular<br />
person, family, or corporate body in<br />
the course <strong>of</strong> that creator’s activities<br />
and functions.<br />
Rationale: Clarify that the definition<br />
includes what archivists refer to as<br />
“fonds.”<br />

CILIP: The definition should make it<br />
plain that it covers distributed<br />
collections; that is, collections which<br />
are not stored in a single contiguous<br />
location. This will clarify application <strong>of</strong><br />
the rules to collections assembled by<br />
multibranch services, or stored in split<br />
locations within a library <strong>for</strong> curation<br />
purposes, etc.<br />

accumulated and used by a particular<br />
