Hi Jerry, I think the best you can do is to document where you found it. If it changes and you know then you could change your information too. If you don't know then I don't think there is much you can do. Even 'official' repositories change location and name from time to time.

When you cite a newspaper article as a source, do you attempt to always document where that article can be found, either online or in a person's possession? And do you always provide the specific http URL address, if it is available online? 2. If so, what happens if that online website which is housing that newspaper article shuts down? (or the person who has the article dies?) 3. Along with this, if the newspaper article is in the possession of a certain person, is that person, in effect, the REPOSITORY for the item and should a REPOSITORY of all items in that person's or organization's possession be set up for ready reference? I hope this is clear enough.
