Becky Briggs Becker (she/her)Submitted my promotion portfolio! #thatarchiveslife #academia
Promotion portfolio evidence should be called “Evidence of Badassery” but I don’t think that’s gonna fly here. #thatarchiveslife #archives #academia
OK OK I will share this bit that sums up how archives conference travel ended: “If I had a nickel for every time I found a bolt in my tire, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.” #archivistproblems #thatarchiveslife
Also do I even want to talk about how the last couple of days have been going? #archivistproblems #thatarchiveslife
I attended a digital forensics workshop today. I know I may have learned digital preservation basics 12-15 years ago. The fundamentals are the same. The message has changed: “You don’t HAVE to do it all. What is most important stuff to save?” Amen!! #thatarchiveslife #archivistproblems
"Like, you'd think I'd know if I had two mural panels that were 7 feet tall in our storage space. But I've been surprised before." #thatarchiveslife #archivistproblems
Oh yeah, my departments finished moving all their boxes out of our storage space as of a week ago. It's just been Murphy's Law regarding everything else but that lately. #thatarchiveslife
BTW, my two departments have been moving backlog boxes into our Robot warehouse system ahead of our archives storage area getting a makeover starting after graduation. Special Collections is pretty much done. UA is halfway done loading... at 393 boxes. #thatarchiveslife
