ARCHIVIST OF THE HALL OF RECORDS 17

TEACHING AND LEARNING

Several groups of students interested in one way or another spent
a day with us at the Hall of Records. The usual procedure is for the
Archivist to speak to them about the Hall of Records and its work and
then for Mr. Skordas, Mr. Beach or Mr. Weatherly to take them on a
tour of the building and to explain in detail those things in which the
class might be especially interested.
