Our #ArchiveHacks is to use punch-resistant, light and insect proof Marvelseal for extra protection of your objects. These can be sealed to keep out air and humidity for long term storage or shipping. #Archive30 https://t.co/O2Sd9pQeRv
Staff know the best #ArchiveHacks! We’re your best friends for locating items as we know the cross-pollination of our collections. Large portions of the Collection were acquired as combined collections of documents, images, and & materials then cataloged separately.

#Archive30 day 27: #archivehacks. Although we're always adding to our digital collections, only a small portion of our collections are online! Always ask an archivist ([email protected])! Just because it's not online, doesn't mean we don't have the answers to your questions! #UNL
Imaging tricky materials like photo albums sometimes takes a little creativity. To digitize our Hiram Bingham albums, our team employs a variety of tools and props to get the images juuuust right! #ArchiveHacks #Archive30 @ARAScot
One of our #ArchiveHacks involves the reading room tables which happen to be the same size as some of our exhibit cases. Makes planning a layout a breeze! #Exhibits #Archive30 #ProvidenceCollege #PCLibrary #PCArchives
In this day and age of self #digitization we recommend that you photograph the box, file or envelope prior to taking a photo of the item. You will need this information for #citation later. #ArchiveHacks #Archive30
Today’s @ARAScot #Archive30 theme is #ArchiveHacks. A top hack for us is keeping our archival toolbelt handy; you never know when you’ll need to remove a staple or pin or clean an item of dust that’s been boxed away for over 100 years. This image shows some of our favourites.
Day 27 of #Archive30, the most important of all #ArchiveHacks: before entering an archive, free your mind and let the documents speak for themselves!

Although you can find a lot of info about archival collections online by visiting an archives website (https://t.co/aU5EvrvnRJ) or database (https://t.co/gkoUKcTtlI), sometimes you just have to ask for help. We know things & if we don't, we can direct you #ArchiveHacks #Archive30

In 2016, students from the Geneva University of Art and Design were invited to create a movie based on the content of ICRC archived 16 and 35 mm films. See how our archives were creatively “hacked” in these 21 short documentaries:

One of the most useful #ArchiveHacks that was shared with us during research fir the Past on Glass digitisation was to use a clarinet Reed to (carefully) lever glass plate negatives from the scanner bed once they’ve been digitised. #Archive30
Many of our medieval & early modern mss are available online: https://t.co/tbMIND98Yt.
But we've been digitizing faster than we can upload them to our new platform...see something that isn't available? Let us know & we'll send the files!

#ArchiveHacks are the theme for today's #Archive30. @NARIreland posted my blog today on how to deal with rusty staples https://t.co/lM3q7ZXQ3Q In the same way straight pins can also be removed & replaced with a thread tacket, as I did here on this green ribbon sample.
Treat archives as you would a crime scene. 🕵️🔎Look for clues that indicate suspects, and take note of fashion, format or even modes of transport to estimate dates. Research is key to unraveling the mystery.️
Using clues, can you guess the date of these archives? #ArchiveHacks
One of our best #ArchiveHacks that our teachers & students say is really useful is our Currency Converter. If your historical document is talking money & you want to work out what it means try this tool to compare it to today, or 2017 at least. https://t.co/ZAQABOWj08 #Archive30
