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. 🌈

~ 100 VHS home recordings of PBS programming from the 90s, in Lasalle (Montreal, QC, Canada). Not my posting, seen on Freecycle.

My wife will be cross with me if I take these*, so sharing here incase there's any #montreal archivists that need a new project.
