“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…"

fellow #Archivists who attended #saa2026 last month:

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!

In case there are any UK or Ireland based archivists and archive-workers out there - if you're thinking of doing ARA's registration scheme (https://www.archives.org.uk/ara-professional-development-programme ), I am a mentor for this and looking for mentees. We can meet online or in person (London), get in touch if you'd like to have a chat about it.

Hi #archives friends, I'm prepping a class, and would love to hear any suggestions you have about #archives and #ai.

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

Thanks 🙏

"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."

Yasss street sweeper queen!

Found this in an old scrapbook on eBay and it's already the best thing that'll happen to me all day.

Why digital government #records are so hard to preserve | History depends on records that weren’t built to last

Chat apps, e-mail, and cloud files have become the primary record of how power is exercised. #Archivists are trying to preserve them before formats go dark or messages disappear without a trace
The #NationalArchives added 463 terabytes of #electronicrecords to its permanent collection in 2024 alone
