We lost the wonderful Shane MacGowan two years ago today. The Pogues' album "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash" is one of my favourite albums of all time. The emotion that Shane put into singing the lyrics of "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is profound and very moving. #ShaneMacGowan

Exploring use of community archives through the Irish Queer Archive
by Maxine Boudway Users are an integral part of the archival web, interpreting material that shapes the views they bring into the wider world. USA community archives, recognising this, have conducted studies with users to improve user experience, promote the archive’s significance, and secure funding. Since community members simultaneously collect, maintain, provide access to, and access material that mainstream institutions neglect, these archives have a blurred boundary between user/activist/donor/archivist.

Being the second part of J.R.R. #Tolkien's epic The Lord of the Rings, it is a volume of two halves. The first follows Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli to Fangorn and Rohan; and after the Battle of the Hornburg, ends with Gandalf taking Pippin to Gondor.
