Special (other) Archives

Some archives defy categorization.

There are tribal archives within the Native American nations in North America, and there are archives that exist within the papers of private individuals.

Many museums keep archives in order to prove the provenance of their pieces. Any institution or persons wishing to keep their significant papers in an organized fashion that employs the most basic principles of archival science may have an archive.
