The most important research moment is not when the researcher opens the [archival] box, but when the archivist fills the box.
I like that. Especially in the context of underrepresented communities and partially represented topics.

Just settling down for "Latin American Feminist Organizations in the Archived Web" at the #BDCAM25 conference. Great chance over the next few days to immerse myself in current digital scholarship activity.
Turns out all the formal web archiving programmes are exclusively in the global north.

The Anglicans and the Catholics dominating the skyline here in Liverpool. Librarians making up the third point of the triangle on the 13th floor of The Spire Building. Interesting discussions at #RLUK25. First face to face meeting for 6 years.

Sitting in the Clarivate session on their activity in the AI space. The next wave is here 'actionable AI'. They can reason, plan and execute, apparently. Must be how Clarivate is coming up with their strategy at the moment.

Went to a tremendous exhibition yesterday at The British Museum. The artist Hew Locke spent 2 years going through BM collection finding items connected with colonialism, slavery, and imperialism. On display alongside some of his own work. www.britishmuseum.org/exhibitions/...

I was in Lewes last night for the bonfire celebrations. Difficult to describe exactly how eccentric it is. Cosplay morris dancers doing mardi gras/day of the dead parades with flaming torches and papal effigies. Deeply bizarre but highly entertaining. Then Trump this morning. What a come down.
