With the issues around class gender race and diversity in general facing the record keeping sector at the moment, I cannot recommend this book enough. A brilliant introduction and lots of practical guidance we can apply to our sector.
Give it a read!

On Friday night, the president officially fired the Archivist of the United States, as he had promised to do before taking office. So, hi there! 👋 Former National Archives employee here.

Photo-Me trashed all their analogue booths when restructuring in late 90s so all analogue photobooths today are run by independent people/small companies. I’ve been conducting interviews w/all these techs (incl Ryan below) for a community archive: The Photobooth Technicians Project- link in bio!
This is a lovely little article about a local institution that I hold very dear. I had no idea it was owned and operated by…just a guy! I assumed these booths were overseen by a big company. www.gazettenet.com/ThornesPhoto...

I'm working on a cataloguing resource for the Digital Preservation Community Archives Toolkit (www.dpconline.org/digipres/imp...) today. If you could tell Community archives #JustOneThing about cataloguing hybrid collections, what would it be? Do you have any rules for cataloguing digitised content?

This is a fine article on the difficulties of archival digitization.
Worth adding, that high quality text transcription also requires considerable time, investment and quality control.

I'm at the Engine Shed in Stirling today to be a panelist at a Scotlands Community Heritage Event. #CelebrateCHC. Been asked for thoughts on a strategy that hasn't included archives or digital although it focuses on the historic environment. Should be interesting!
