Hi Brenda, I found the information very interesting, however disturbing. It has been a few years since I was at the Archives in Laguna Niguel, Orange Co., Calif. At that time the procedure was quite simple.......no bag checks, lockers, etc. In the various responses you have rec'd, did you get the idea ALL the Archives were so severely strict? I can understand why they are, but was surprised. Best, Gloria Daum
