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.
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.

@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
@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
@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!
