1/ Hello #PresTC2020! My name is Virginia Dressler and I’m the Digital Projects Librarian @KentState_LIB I'm participating in the ALA Preservation Week Twitter Conference hosted by @SAApreservation on the topic of the Right to be Forgotten and digital archives

You want your MTV? ⬇️

@MapesGeog 😬

@MapesGeog So sorry to hear. These scenarios are impossible and it's truly sad how few resources are available. My uncle near the end of his life had inhome care in trade for free room and board. He was in Los Angeles and the cost of care was insane. Sending love

IAMAS, Lindsey Light, “Where's My Village: Reconciling My Roles as an Academic (Single) Mother and Scholar-Teacher” 🙌

First time presenting at IAMAS, and loving these sessions . Michele Darchuck, “Mothering in Higher Education - Creating Inclusive Spaces for Mother-Scholar Faculty at Jesuit Universities”

But thank God for the @internetarchive ! So much would be lost without you

Presented in 2019 at a digital archiving conference & noticed their conference site was down, as I was looking for a title of another presentation. Submit an inquiry to the hosting institution (also higher Ed) & was given a link to the way back machine on the Internet archive 🤦

@MapesGeog The '*Please contact first before mailing anything' part is killing me!!

At the LSTA OPC preservation/conservation workshop

@MapesGeog Holden?

Your teaching evaluations aren’t great, you aren’t publishing much, and you have no external funding, have you considered going into administration?

Excited to be part of the civic switchboard institute

@spaceforpeace Congrats!! Well deserved

I got tenure! This third career has had a lot of twists and turns and I'm so grateful for all the support along the way, in Vancouver, KW, Bogotá, Toronto, Tampere, and now Kent - and of course from those in other places far and wide. I appreciate all of the care and connection!

@MichalK67562 I think it's addressing the construction of archives- by their selection and curation, and in other parts of the book the author questions authenticity of archives and to be wary of trusting them completely

Friday morning reads. "To draw on an old Mediterranean passion that captures nicely the elements of competition and strategy, document making was like chess: full of gambits, scripted moves, and countermoves. Archives are less like mirrors than like chessboards."

Into the Archive: Writing and Power in Colonial Peru by Kathryn Burns

@MapesGeog Just had a call with someone in Philly this week and they wanted to know exactly where I lived in the eclipse path 😂

One more day to take our survey on academic library and museum collaboration. If you work in either of these areas, we'd love to hear from you! I'll draw for giftcards March 1st. kent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0A…
