"Smile!" Summer vacation used to mean film cameras, limited shots, and the long wait to see how the pix actually turned out. 📸☀️

#Kodak helped define photography, building systems that made memories printable, shareable, and permanent.

Today on International Archives Day, we recognize how institutions like the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) safeguard the nation’s documentary history, ensuring accountability, preserving memory, and maintaining access to records across generations.

Just as the NARA preserves a nation’s record, the Wayback Machine preserves the history of its web presence. 🕰️ 💾

Dit flikt @vrijnederland trouwens ook.

Kan helaas van de journalisten daar alleen zo snel een inactief account van @fgeerdink vinden.
