She wrote that #Archivists are "scholars, detectives, and unsung heroes of museum settings whose tireless work enables our cultural institutions to preserve and present the complexities of history." 😭❤️🗃️ #bkmarchives #bkminterns

Uhhhh, "who will step up and pay for a similar massive effort that would create immutable versions of historical data?" Hold up, do archivists not exist? Am I not real? Is SAA a deep fake? nytimes.com/2024/01/28/opi…

Scanning a printed out email 🙂

So much for no more puddle jumping @ greene & Marcy 😞

Won't miss those leaps! But now I NEED to know how it works

Native nations, tribes, communities, the original stewards/inhabitants, include Cheyenne, Ute, Southern Ute, Mountain Ute, many others that traveled through the area now know as Colorado [map of land area pictured with treaty areas highlighted native-land.ca] #saa23

In "Partnering to Document Land and Water History in Colorado" - extensive time given to detail development of the state of Colorado, but as yet failed to mention the Native American Nations, Tribes, and Ancestral Publeoan/Anasazi people #saa23

"the most record-y record to ever record" #saa23

Disappointing, what was once a phenomenal library program so ineptly treated by smashing 2 full-time jobs into 1, offering $22-24 an hour, not acknowledging that "coordinating" a library is a whole profession

@ktsloan27 @archivingeye & thanks to ppl on here who work/have shared out on trauma-informed archival practice @AmeliaNGibson @maudeygirl @NicolaCLaurent @feministlib @widelight @ktaines & many more---feel free to share others

Big thanks to the authors: Katie Sloan, Jennifer Vanderfluit, and Jennifer Douglas for the labor put into this survey, analysis, research, and writing!

discussed article 'Emerging Themes on Secondary Trauma & Archivists'-we have no definition of "traumatic records" & moving towards a feminist ethics of care, need more understanding, support, training elischolar.library.yale.edu/jcas/vol6/iss1…

p typical of native american & first nation cultural genocide in north america--provenance is source/origin & non-creation/erasure of documentation reinforces dominant narratives. Don't forget we're on stolen land, legacy of forced displacement also obfuscates provenance.

Photography curators and content creators about #ejbellocq beware! The legacy of misinformation re Bellocq continues. As I argue in my thesis, rigorous work has not been done bc of rumour, the marginalized subject matter, ableism, etc. #histsex

@OgdenMuseum Hate to fact check, but I'm an archivist... Only 75 are portraits of sex workers

During the 1910s, E.J. Bellocq captured a minimum of 89 portraits of prostitutes working in Storyville, known as the famous red-light district of New Orleans. ⁣ (E.J. Bellocq, "Girl with Striped Stockings," 1912, Vintage gelatin silver print, Roger Houston Ogden Collection)

We don't do hot dates. We do temperature-controlled dates

Dr. Charlotte Friend 1) proved viruses can be the cause of some types of cancers, 2) demonstrated that cancer cells can be stopped from multiplying & revert to being normal cells through a chemical treatment, and 3) called out #FrancisCrick my post: archives.icahn.mssm.edu/the-mount-sina…

all the love and support to my former colleagues (also, the wages have not kept up with inflation, so the 200 year old salaries is on point, check the #bkmarchives 😘 apparently it's open to research again)

see article by @ericandrewgee for more info about how Rouyn Noranda is being effected today theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
