  11. #JoannaOlin: “We need to preserve #HumanWriting before it is too late.”

    August 28, 2026

    "Dear Commons Communty,

    Joanna Olin, vice president for government relations and chief of staff at Smith College, has a guest essay this morning in The Chronicle of Higher Education entitled, “We need to preserve human writing before it is too late.” Her theme is that in the age of AI, colleges must be the custodians of the written word. She provides an interesting historical perspective on the issue.

    Below is her entire essay.

    Tony"

    Excerpt: "The responsibility of higher education is not only pedagogical, but custodial. Colleges must sustain their libraries, archives, special collections, digital repositories, and systems of provenance, as well as the #librarians, #archivists, and scholars of #library and #InformationScience whose expertise makes those resources trustworthy and usable. AI-generated summaries may help researchers orient themselves with unfamiliar material, but they cannot replace the scholarship that interprets, the evidence that substantiates, or the human judgment that weighs competing claims."

  16. Are Colorado Moose Invasive? New Research Says NO

    “The modern Colorado moose is often considered just that: modern - brought to the state by wildlife officials in the late 1970s, preceded by very occasional reports of moose sightings in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
    Since being translocated to Colorado, these charismatic megafauna have been a source of both fascination and concern. In Rocky Mountain National Park [RMNP], where moose populations have thrived, ecosystems have been changing, and moose-associated impacts have sparked renewed conversations about managing an animal labeled “non-native.”
    However, newly published research [link above] by an interdisciplinary team of scientists, archivists and Tribal cultural heritage leaders shows that the “non-native” label is inaccurate. They present evidence demonstrating that moose have been in Colorado for at least centuries and likely longer.
    The researchers analyzed newspaper archives, archaeological site reports, scientific journals, museum collections and photo archives to understand where and when moose were present in Colorado prior to the mid-1900s. Perhaps most importantly, notes lead author William Taylor, a University of Colorado Boulder associate professor of anthropology and CU Museum curator of archaeology, the scholars sought Indigenous histories, and in doing so found evidence of moose being well known and deeply integrated into traditional knowledge of Native people in the southern Rockies.
    Crystal C’Bearing, a study co-author and Northern Arapaho Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, notes that among the Northern Arapaho, "the moose is considered a valued commodity among the Tribe.” She adds that societies within the Northern Arapaho "utilize many animals, including moose, in their clothing, society items and regalia. This tradition continues today."
    The scholarly approach of joining Indigenous knowledge with historical accounts, archaeology and paleontology, "shows the power of multiple independent lines of evidence converging on the conclusion that moose were part of southern Rocky Mountain ecosystems long before modern reintroductions," says study co-author Jonathan Dombrosky of Crow Canyon Archaeological Center and the University of Alabama. "More broadly, the study demonstrates how historical sciences can help us better understand the origins of modern ecosystems and make more informed decisions about their future…"

    did you visit/take any photos of the #zine table they set up by the welcome area?

    I was unable to attend the conference this year, but I did send some zines for the table in my stead--I would love to see them on display if anyone has photos to share!

    thanks!

    Are there publications (articles / blog posts / podcasts /etc.) on the topic that you think future #archivists should know about?

    Thanks 🙏

    Flounces flouncing in the snow;
    Pretty lady do not rage,
    When I say you're in a cage,
    By a lot of hoops secured—
    Of it, I am well assured.
    Head, of course, is left outside,
    Bonnet on your back doth ride;
    Sweep away the sidewalks clean,
    Of street sweepers, you're the queen."

    Head, of course, is left outside,
    Bonnet on your back doth ride;
    Sweep away the sidewalks clean,
    Of street sweepers, you're the queen."

  42. "Waddling pyramid you go,
    Flounces flouncing in the snow;
    Pretty lady do not rage,
    When I say you're in a cage,
    By a lot of hoops secured—
    Of it, I am well assured.
    Head, of course, is left outside,
    Bonnet on your back doth ride;
    Sweep away the sidewalks clean,
    Of street sweepers, you're the queen."
