I overthink everything (including this bio). Archives. Fiction. Reading (and hopefully Writing). Opinions mine (of course). Love cats and parentheses.

@ruaaup thought you’d enjoy seeing your awesome mug accessorized with gingerbread cookies!

@melissadefino Ugh. Will work up the energy to read the article. Thanks for the notice that it’s gonna annoy me.

When Ida hit, Special Collections in Alexander flooded. It’s not as if this couldn’t have been predicted. It’s a recurring issue. Now, they're are closed for the academic year. If only these archival documents could throw a football... @ruaaup #RUtheWorst #PayRUFacilitiesWorkers.

This article explains the ancestral origins of my new novel THE ARCHIVIST, just released from @BlackstoneAudio @carynradick @archivists_org @ArchivistsTale and how inspiration can come at you from anywhere and change your life!

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

I was excited to have my blurb quoted on the jacket of @RexPickett’s The Archivist, out today. I was really happy to see the entire blurb on Amazon, since it mentions the surfacing of hidden labor and workplace issues as well.

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

@melissadefino Good. I’m trying to be a bit more active too, so I can chime in when I have something to add (which never happens).

@MaxTheWriterCat @Rutgers_SCUA @Archivist Well, our cats sometimes inspire us to go against the expected!

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

We have such good looking cats! #AskAnArchivist

[Rutgers Special Collections & University Archives @Rutgers_SCUA]

Thanks everyone for a wonderful #AskAnArchivist Day! After a long day of archiving, there is nothing like hanging out with the cats of SC/UA.

@RAANewBrunswick @USNatArchives @RutgersU @RutgersNB Interesting how they are identified with the sports they play.

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

@RAANewBrunswick @USNatArchives @RutgersU @RutgersNB @Rutgers_SCUA There are some in our "R-Photo" collection https://t.co/VIoRFmLQV1
and I suspect views from the yearbooks, but there aren't many!

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

@RAANewBrunswick @USNatArchives @RutgersU @RutgersNB The Rutgers War Service Bureau correspondence is digitized and available online: https://t.co/6NkhT6Hf9V (in case you haven't seen these amazing letters)

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

@USNatArchives @RAANewBrunswick @RutgersU @RutgersNB I just took a screen shot of this! I definitely want to know more about it.

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

@Rutgers_SCUA It's been a tough year. #AskAnArchivist

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

@RexPickett @IngallsLibrary @geofhuth I think there are many pathways to being an archivist & archivist jobs that don't use that title. I know there were debates in the past where people claimed their routes were the "correct" one, but hopefully that has passed. #AskAnArchivist

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

@ScottSandage Papers of a woman named Helen Hurd, which I found because she had signed headshots of Hollywood stars from the 20s. She had a complicated/interesting life and may have been sterilized. I wrote about it here https://t.co/vr9ScKRGjq (if you're interested). #AskAnArchivist

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

@KDRoe122 #AskAnArchivist When I first met the man who would become my biggest mentor and champion in the profession, he asked why I wanted to be an archivist. I asked him why I would want to be anything else. We got along instantly!

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

@RexPickett That is awesome! I would love to find something like that @Rutgers_SCUA #AskAnArchivist

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

@Rutgers_SCUA @JFKLibrary I really need a "pic by stacks" of me...

[Caryn Radick @carynradick]

@RexPickett @Rutgers_SCUA @RexPickett for a few years, @archivists_org had a short story contest. Many different fictional takes on the profession. I enjoyed being a judge. #AskAnArchivist
