Greetings all,

 

Our institution is brainstorming about how to transform our
archives/research library area to make it more inviting and attractive to
visitors other than the traditional researchers and students. Other than new
programming, we are investigating name changes to this area of operations of
the Historical Society. Currently the name stands as the Harry H. Anderson
Research Library. 

 

Is there anyone out there that has experienced a transition with an archive
like this and how did it occur, or do you know of similar research
facilities that transformed their experiences and offerings through creative
re-naming processes?

 

Thanks for any feedback!

 

Mike
