Day 15 #ArchiveMisconceptions
"Full of dusty old papers; nothing interesting."
Yes, this was said referring to the #MarshallFoundationLibrary archives.
Nothing interesting ...

Ooh this is also true of archives - all credit to @beastlibrarian - but want to qt/share this into the #ArchiveMisconceptions #Archive30 for April 15
what some people don't seem to understand is a library is built over decades or centuries by lots of different people w diff priorities. each new person to come in to steward the collection is inheriting the decisions and choices of the person who came before (and on and on).
Time to rebuff some #ArchiveMisconceptions for today’s @ARAScot’s #Archive30 and let’s talk about why we don’t use white gloves🧤These reduce your dexterity and can also transfer dirt from the gloved to the items you’re holding. Use those nitrile gloves folks!
One of the misconceptions about archives is that they are only for certain types of people - but we are open to everyone! You don't need to be an academic. If you need help with family or house history or anything else just pop by

Day 15 of @ARAScot's #Archive30: #ArchiveMisconceptions - Peace out gloves gloves 🧤
Love them or hate them, many recent studies have concluded that gloves are not necessarily the best option for handling archives. We prefer clean hands, washed with 🧼 and thoroughly dried!
Day 15 of #Archive30 is #ArchiveMisconceptions.
Digital Archives involve a bit more than just scanning a photo or document.
#ArchiveMisconceptions You don't always have to wear gloves to handle documents 😱 #Archive30 @ARAScot @explorearchives @ArchiveHashtag @ARAUK_IE
One #ArchiveMisconceptions we often face is why our collections aren't fully digitised. This video by @CambsArchives shows how long the digitisation process can be: https://t.co/dNZak6RDCK #Archive30
We thought we’d show the realities of digitising archival material to try and get rid of some of the misconceptions.
This 43-second video shows the sped up process of digitisation , when in reality this process took around 10 minutes from beginning to end.

“The record is Always True” is 1 of the #ArchiveMisconceptions risking #FakeNews
This is countered by #Archival work to preserve the record’s evidential & custodial integrity
Even #Shakespeare was forged!

Our oral history recordings provide us with priceless insights into the lives of our diverse local communities... no dusty, cobweb-riddled paper in sight! #ArchiveMisconceptions #Archive30
#Archive30 day 15: The most bizarre of all #ArchiveMisconceptions is the myth that archivists are technically inept or uninterested in the digital world. Nowadays, traditional archival virtues like authenticity & contextualisation are more important than ever.
#ArchiveMisconceptions - one of the biggest is about wearing gloves. It’s mostly not necessary and actually discouraged, see this article for more information: https://t.co/ulykbCE1TD

#Archive30 #ArchiveMisconceptions It’s a common misconception that @britishmuseum #archive holds the departmental records relating to the @britishlibrary & @NHM_London collections - understandable though, as both collections began at #BritishMuseum ! #exploreyourarchive
People often think they have to wear cotton gloves to handle archival documents. In fact, they can be more of a hindrance than a help. What we like to see are nice clean hands and sensible document handling – so much better! #ArchiveMisconceptions #Archive30
#ArchiveMisconceptions Let's talk about white gloves....There's a misconception that you need to wear gloves before coming into contact with archives. Wrong. A lot of time they can do more harm than good #Archive30
Day 15 of #Archive30 is about #ArchiveMisconceptions
A common one I have come across is - a Librarian and an Archivist is the same thing, right?
Wrong 🙄
Archivist=unique, often unpublished material
Librarian=published texts

The idea of 'dusty archives' is one we constantly have to debunk. Our. Archives. Are. Not. Dusty.
#Archive30 #ArchiveMisconceptions
#Archive30 is all about #ArchiveMisconceptions. What misconceptions can you think of? Or have come across researching or working with #Archives?
@ARAScot @ArchiveHashtag @explorearchives
#ArchiveMisconceptions that all I did was put these items in a box 😤 it involves soo much more than that - ensuring preservation, cataloguing, measuring, and not to mention the game of maximising box space #Archive30
There are many #ArchiveMisconceptions one being that archives are dirty, dusty and disorganised!
Here's a snap of one of our storerooms. What do you think?
