@moncur_d ⬆️ it's a question for @bookstodon #bookstodon #archivistodon #Archivists perhaps someone can identify/read this kind of #shorthand ?

Calling #mapstodon !!! Also #librarians and #archivists !!!
I used a lot of old maps in my work for York Library and Archive, which I'm proud to say are on permanent display.
But I'm running out of maps!
If anyone has any old sheet maps (see pic for examples) - not the folded retail sort - that need a new home, please could i have them?!?!
I would love to make you something from them in return, if you'd like.
Thank you!!!#maps #cartography #librariansofmastodon #oldMaps #archivistodon

~ 100 VHS home recordings of PBS programming from the 90s, in Lasalle (Montreal, QC, Canada). Not my posting, seen on Freecycle.
My wife will be cross with me if I take these*, so sharing here incase there's any #montreal archivists that need a new project.

ABC News: An archaeologist is racing to preserve Sudan’s heritage as war threatens to erase its cultural past. “As the war between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) rages on, [Shadia Abdrabo] from Sudan’s National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums (NCAM) is on a yearlong research grant in France with one mission: to build an online database of the […]

Today is the day of Saint #Lawrence of #Rome (31 December 225 - 10 August 258). He is the #patron saint of those who work with open fires (#cooks, #bakers, #brewers, #textile cleaners, #tanners), of those to whom fire means harm (#librarians, #archivists, #miners, #poor people), and of #comedians.

If you're based in the US #South and you do memory work (broadly defined to include any work to save the memory of social justice organizations), we'd love to hear about your work, your success, and your challenges.

The everything-is-an-engineering-problem crowd are the ones who've dug us into this pit of misinformation. #Librarians, #Archivists, and #InformationProfessionals are the ones trying to dig us out. We're more important than ever, and more important right now than the boys with toys who got us here. 4/5

SAA Diversity Committee has drafted a statement regarding nationwide attacks on #DEIA programs and initiatives.
“The solution to collective attacks and uncertainty must be collective action and solidarity. We must provide mutual aid to one another and leverage our individual contributions to meet this moment.”

It comes from a loose coalition of #archivists & #librarians, who are standing athwart #history & yelling “Save!” They belong to organizations such as the #InternetArchive, which co-created a project called the End of Term Web Archive to back up the federal web in 2008; the Environmental Data & Governance Initiative, or #edgi; & #libraries at major #universities such as #MIT & the University of #Michigan.

Hey #library / #archives / #oralHistory friends!
I'm teaching a new #class "Solidarity Memory Work"
We'll learn about #solidarity #movements in allied professions (academic history, journalism, etc.) then discuss (1) how to actively #document and #preserve current movements and organizations, and (2) activate that #records already in #collections to motivate and guide contemporary organizers
Join us?

The Web and the Internet are largely ephemeral — documents, images, and videos disappear all the time.
If you find something on the Web or the Internet and you value it — download it and save it.

In some ways, ActivityPub & the Fediverse matches an archivist's dream —
Done right, ActivityPub & the Fediverse can make saving information, history, and culture easier.
How‽ — Boosting something is saving it, because a copy of what you boosted is stored on your server.
And if you are on your own server — you are saving it to your own (server) computer.

There are people who worry about information, history, and culture being lost.
They want to preserve it — preserve it for themselves and future generations.
They try to save it — save files, save books, save articles, save photos, ... save anything they feel is important.
These people are called archivists.

"...the Great 78 Project, a community effort for the preservation, research and discovery of 78 rpm #records that are 70 to 120 years old...
Through the efforts of dedicated #librarians, #archivists and sound engineers, we have preserved hundreds of thousands of recordings that are stored on shellac resin, an obsolete and brittle medium. The resulting preserved recordings retain the scratch and pop sounds that are present in the analog artifacts; noise that modern remastering techniques remove...
These preservation recordings are used in #teaching and $research...
“When people want to listen to music they go to Spotify. When people want to study sound recordings as they were originally created, they go to libraries like the Internet Archive. Both are needed. There shouldn’t be conflict here.”

This is a very thoughtful post from the Radical History working group on their experiences of entering the archive: https://archive-stories.com/Decolonising-LSE
"Archive Stories is a website about how to work with creative and non-traditional archives. We wanted to create a space for conversations about archiving beyond institutional archives..."

Hint: A new Podcast for #archivists & #digitalhumanitis

My organization (Software Heritage) is using more and more #pads (using #HedgeDoc) for real-time collaborative elaboration of documentation, presentations, etc.
However, once completed, we have a hard time referencing the content, indexing it, archiving it. Completed documentation pages land in our #SphinxDoc project, which is properly indexed and hyperlinked, but not all of the pad content needs to land there.
Do you know of groups that have existing strategies to make sure that the knowledge stored in pads doesn't end up stuck in that black hole forever? I would especially welcome #git or #GitLab based, automated workflows. #Archivists #KnowledgeManagement
I've found the CERN CodiMD archive project, which seems promising, but, hilariously, only referenced on their own CodiMD instance. I haven't found any code for it.
Seems like #GitLab has killed its real-time collaborative edition project as well, so that seems to be a dead end.

Today in the Guardian:
“‘Our Mission Is Crucial’: Meet the Warrior Librarians of Ukraine
“When R*ssia invaded Ukraine, a key part of its strategy was to destroy historic libraries in order to eradicate the Ukrainians’ sense of identity. But P*tin hadn’t counted on the unbreakable spirit of the country’s librarians.”

Nov 25: Feast of St Catherine of Alexandria, one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers & patron saint of, inter alia, #scribes, #scholars, #librarians, #archivists, #students, #philosophers, #girls / unwed #women, #lawyers. Her reputation for learning & wisdom led to her patronage of librarians, & anyone associated with knowledge; her debating skill & persuasive language led to her patronage of lawyers. #Manuscripts #MedievalManuscripts #Medievodons @bookhistodons @medievodons
