When refering to the college's archive/s is the proper term "Archives" or "Archive"?
I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice this, but I haven't done the research yet.
*edit*
A similar issue came up at the SAA Conference, or rather, the Lone Arrangers' Roundtable dinner. We discovered that we all say "The Archives is", making "archives" singular. I likened it to "Archives" as place, versus, "archive" as thing. I guess I decided, depending on if you're talking about the place or any general archive, when I refere to my archives, I use the plural/singular. But if I'm talking about an archive of any ol' stuff, it's singular.
Clear as mud?
