Me to archivist: Hey, where did the info for the bio note come from, so I can submit a name authority file record?
Archivist: Oh, I dunno, it's somewhere in the collection. I think.
me: The collection is 100 linear feet, and you literally just processed it yourself. Can you find the info? I can't do authority work without documentation.
Archivist: [never answers].
[repeat conversation endlessly until I die]
