No longer working as head of a mid-sized, Canadian academic archives. I squeaked out just in time before the Pandemic by retiring. Still interested in Archives!

@ScottGillingham Green spaces are already severely threatened in this city by developers. An overall Master Greenspace Plan is still years away. Community involvement is extremely important to vital and supportive neighbourhoods but this plan will eliminate that. We need to reconsider this offer

Centre-Port is going to develop right over an amazing little-known watershed area. We need protections in place to ensure derailments won't poison our streams and rivers!

I wonder if in fact these are archival records. If so there could be some important new information contained therein

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

The Herculaneum papyri are more than 1800 papyri scrolls that were carbonized by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius (79 CE), constituting the only surviving library from antiquity that exists in its entirety. Now using new x-ray techniques, these scrolls are being read for the first time in millennia.

So sad that the Twitter we knew and loved is slowly disintegrating #MyTwitterAnniversary

So sad to hear that Danny Schur, author of the musical "Strike!" has died. He gave a fantastic lecture on it @umarchives May 2, 2019. He was a great supporter of all archives. We have lost a champion. Here we are with Victoria archivist Walter Meyer zu Erpen.

The City of Winnipeg Council recently passed a 4 year budget. There will be $543,000 fully committed in 2023 for the City to undertake design and class 3 costing of renovations to the old Carnegie Library. This will allow the City of Winnipeg Archives to return to a secure home!

What kind of monster strikes down child labor laws?? Is this the 19th century or what?!

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Gotta admit -- loosening child labor laws was not on my Top 10 List for our CA legislative session this year. https://t.co/6HRZAXgW37

[Sweeney139 @Sweeney139]

Almost there! The budget item to pay for $12.6 million renovations to the Carnegie Library building for the City of Winnipeg Archives is moving to the Executive Policy Committee next, then on to the full City Council for approval. We’re on our way!!

Critical for the survival of the planet; biodiversity must be protected as quickly as possible

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Overnight, the world agreed to a "Paris Agreement" for biodiversity! It's the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and its goals aren't expressed in degrees of warming but rather in land and water protected: 30% by 2030 globally. Read more: https://t.co/pD5pRGnA0b
