  10. 🇫🇷 Grand Tour de l'Ouest de la France - Jour 9 - 07 mars 2016

    Première journée dans la vallée de la Loire et ses nombreux châteaux...

    Tours, c'est la ville de Martin, ce légionnaire romain du IVe siècle devenu évêque de Tours et célèbre pour l'épisode du partage de son manteau.

    ➡️ fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_d

    C'est dans la basilique à son nom que ce trouve son tombeau (photo 1).

    En longeant la Loire, vers Blois, on peut faire ce beau panorama sur Amboise et son château royal. (photo 2)

    A Blois, après le lunch de midi, c'est la visite du château royal mais pour ce billet, c'est plutôt une jolie vue sur la ville que j'ai choisie (photo 3).

    Et pour clore la journée, une visite au château de Chambord ne pouvait manquer au programme. De loin, le plus impressionnant de ceux visités. L'élément architectural le plus sensationnel est le fameux escalier à double hélice.

    Pour tout savoir sur cet escalier remarquable : ➡️radiofrance.fr/franceculture/p

    ➡️nationalgeographic.fr/histoire

    Après cette ultime visite, il était temps de se rendre à l'hôtel à Meung-sur-Loire avant une ultime étape dans la vallée de La Loire avant de remonter vers la Champagne et se rapprocher de la Belgique.

    Bonne soirée! 👋 🙂

    🇬🇧 Grand Tour of Western France - Day 9 - March 7, 2016

    First day in the Loire Valley and its many castles...

    Tours is the city of Martin, a oman legionary from the 4th century who became bishop of Tours and famous for the episode of sharing his cloth.

    ➡️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_o

    His tomb is located in the basilica bearing his name (photo 1).

    Following the Loire, towards Blois, you can take this beautiful panorama of Amboise and its royal castle. (photo 2)

    In Blois, after lunch, a visit to the royal castle was on the program but for this post, I choosed a nice view of the city (photo 3).

    And to end the day, a visit to the Castle of Chambord was obligatory. By far the most impressive of those I visited. The most sensational architectural element is the famous double helix staircase.

    ➡️britannica.com/topic/How-Does-

    After this last visit, it was time to go to the hotel in Meung-sur-Loire before a final day in the Loire Valley before heading towards Champagne and getting closer to Belgium.

    Have a nice evening! 👋 🙂

  11. The last century stored its atrocities in ink, paper, and film.
    You couldn’t delete them quietly.
    Today we document everything —
    inside systems owned by people who profit from the chaos.
    The internet made memory a battlefield.
    The digital world makes history editable.
    Don’t expect another 60 years of stability.
    Hope for six.
    If stability ever returns….

  12. Re: erasure at historical sites, national parks, etc. in the United States:

    Reading this article about the removal of a slavery-related exhibit at one of the historic sites in Philly - at the house where George and Martha Washington trafficked in people they enslaved... and it has me thinking...

    I wonder how hard it would be to take the old exhibit text that is removed, create a zine/brochure out of it, and just literally start handing out materials on the street outside of modified sites.

    I know there are programs to save the original texts of exhibits/sites. Does anyone know if there are any programs working to provide that text on the ground, near the exhibits themselves?

    Please share if you have any leads, and feel free to boost.

  18. Working on final revisions of 18th Century Tottenville History Comes Alive and reflecting on the incredible journey. From a 1999 arts grant to being recognized as a Staten Island Woman in History, this has always been about preserving our shared stories. The 17th century book was made possible by amazing community support.

  19. Grateful for community support that made 17th Century Tottenville History Comes Alive possible:
    •COSHSI grant (1999)
    • NY Public Library workshops
    • NY State Assembly recognition as "Staten Island Woman in History" (2002)

  20. When I #Travel one day, I will respectfully visit the old kingdom of #Hawaii which is now a state. I don't really like beaches, but i know they have more than just beaches. I hope to visit the old palace of the Hawaiian royal family which is now the state building, and other landmarks as well. They should be refered to as what they were, not what they are now, because I believe in #HistoricalPreservation, even if things have changed long before I was born. Long live the paradise kingdom.

  23. #AI #GenerativeAI #HistoricalPreservation #Archiving #DataProtection #Cybersecurity #Privacy: "The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) told employees Wednesday that it is blocking access to ChatGPT on agency-issued laptops to “protect our data from security threats associated with use of ChatGPT,” 404 Media has learned.

    “NARA will block access to commercial ChatGPT on NARANet [an internal network] and on NARA issued laptops, tablets, desktop computers, and mobile phones beginning May 6, 2024,” an email sent to all employees, and seen by 404 Media, reads. “NARA is taking this action to protect our data from security threats associated with use of ChatGPT.”

    The move is particularly notable considering that this directive is coming from, well, the National Archives, whose job is to keep an accurate historical record. The email explaining the ban says the agency is particularly concerned with internal government data being incorporated into ChatGPT and leaking through its services."
