  1. @qurlyjoe So, true story. A library I used to work for was a "Library of Congress" archive -- and had microfilm as well as original documents and periodicals. A few years ago they went digital. Good luck finding some of those after Trump & fiends delete digital archives!

  2. "Music for the Nation: American Sheet Music, After 1885"
    loc.gov/collections/american-s
    🎼 "The purpose of Music for the Nation is to present a comprehensive picture of American music publishing in the late 19th century. Not only may hidden gems come to light, but the broader cultural patterns of the time, such as social issues or regional events, can be more objectively examined." 🎵 🎵 🎵

  3. Файл вырос до 800 строк и это была моя вина…

    На каждом ревью найдётся кто‑то, кто спросит: «Зачем четыре файла, если это один пайплайн?» А затем, давайте объясню!

    “Equally delighted was Bill McFarland, the donor who had driven the box of films from his home in Grand Rapids, Michigan…

    His great-grandfather, William Delisle Frisbee, had been a potato farmer and schoolteacher in western Pennsylvania by day, but by night he was a traveling showman. He drove his horse and buggy from town to town to dazzle the locals with a projector and some of the world’s first moving pictures...“

  11. my latest blog post, which is quite niche but is a process I wish I had known about earlier in researching American folk music (in my case, obviously #klezmer, but the same process could be used for a lot of genres). hope it helps someone in their research at some point. I used Ukrainian-American fiddler Pawlo Humeniuk as an example because he rules.

  12. 🇺🇲 Un exemple de nettoyage ethnique à l’époque du président Andrew Jackson : «En 1820, cent vingt mille Indiens vivaient à l’est du Mississippi. En 1844 ils n’étaient plus que trente mille. La plupart avaient été contraints de se déplacer vers l’ouest. » (Howard Zinn)
