As a compulsive collector I advocate for putting the full date, including year, on event posters
As a little gift to future curators
Sidenote in a turbulent chaotic USA where the news tumbles... The president thinks his archive is not for the public 🧐

Calling #mapstodon !!! Also #librarians and #archivists !!!
I used a lot of old maps in my work for York Library and Archive, which I'm proud to say are on permanent display.
But I'm running out of maps!
If anyone has any old sheet maps (see pic for examples) - not the folded retail sort - that need a new home, please could i have them?!?!
I would love to make you something from them in return, if you'd like.
Thank you!!!

Today from the #archives of the #TimeLibrary: police investigate a bizarre dance being performed by a young woman...
I'm headed to the #NewEngland #Archivists conference! Maybe I'll see you there.
Here's some awesome things about NEA:
1. They track contingent employment trends in New England. Fill out the Contingent Employment III Survey by Aug. 31, 2026, and share it with all your current or formerly contingently-employed New England archivist friends. https://forms.gle/UTWMd9tHmjEoFuJ49
2. They create a welcoming environment for their annual meeting that includes keeping attendees safe: https://newenglandarchivists.org/news/13595970
It was such a joy and an honour to be featured in the first ever issue of Inherent Vice, a queer heritage zine aimed at conservators, archivists, and collections care folk. 
I've read every morsel of this publication now and I highly recommend it to any GLAM professional out there. 🌈
