Delighted to announce the Thomas Gray Archive Spring 2026 update. Read all about our recent work at the #ThomasGrayArchive: www.thomasgray.org/about/histor... #c18th #correspondence #map #letters #findingaid #ThomasGray #poetry #DigitalHumanities

While not the winners of the Popcorn Bucket of Awesomeness, the #NoelPrize committee recognized the dedicated work of other applicants, including the Rockefeller Archives Center's Comprehensive Restrictions Review, shown in this #findingaid as an example: https://dimes.rockarch.org/collections/P9iiZRJD6WwZzF27K7zsbv?

Examples of terms not found in any #findingaid audited? "Trans," "illegals," or "codger." Indicative of the age of the collection? The cataloger? Institutional biases? The #harmfullanguage audit posed almost as many questions as it answered. #reparativedescription
