I picked up the Cooley book, read a few pages and put it in my 'should
read
category' along with about 10 others. Sometimes entries on the 'should
read'
category are read, sometimes not, sometimes started and then gone back
to
time and time again over the years.

There is, of course, The Archivist by Martha Cooley. A novel about a
manuscript archivist at a university in charge of (among other things)
a
series of letters by TS Elliot. The novel asks questions about access,
authorship, the ownership and production of knowledge, and the
subjectivity/objectivity of history. I enjoyed it as an interesting
novel
but as I am not an archivist I can't speak to its authenticity in
portraying the working lives of archivists.
