Many thanks to the ARA (Archives & Records Association UK and Ireland) and @exploreyourarchive for this wonderful week !
It will be a pleasure to see you next year 😉
From LSE Library: "Some hobbies and pastimes including "Hot Cockles", "Hoodman blind" and "Animals imitated", from 1801 rare book "Glig-Gamena Angel-Deod, or the Sports and Pastimes of the People of England’"
While four autobiograpical accounts of Alice Thornton's (1626-1707) life exist, each one is different from the others as she changed the structure and rewrote events. #EYAUnique#ExploreYourArchive
Coupe géologique sous la place Bellecour à #Lyon pour le croisement des lignes A et D du #métro.
A l'arrière de cette maquette de la Société d'Economie Mixte du Métropolitain de l'Agglomération Lyonnaise (SEMALY), on aperçoit celles des rames du métro des lignes A et D (MPL75 et MPL85).
Ces maquettes sont exposées #ArchivesDeLyon dans l'exposition Comm(e) une ville.
Traditions multiples dans ce dessin #ArchivesDeLyon (vers 1919, cote 35II/121), intitulé "183e Société de Secours mutuels des Employés de la Soierie lyonnaise" : les #lions à #Lyon bien sûr, mais aussi la soierie lyonnaise, les sociétés de secours mutuels, ainsi que les récompenses obtenues lors d'expositions internationales ou universelles.
"Thousands of records documenting daily lives around the globe in the time of the European Expansion, Colonialism, and Resistance."
"The aim of the German-British Prize Papers Project is the complete digitization and sorting of the Prize Papers including the preservation of the collection’s material, the initial and in-depth cataloguing, the creation of research-oriented metadata and finally the presentation of the digital copies and the metadata in an open access research database. The portal development reflects our continuous engagement with developments in the field of Digital Humanities. We also pursue various research projects, and we cooperate with numerous international researchers and research institutions working on the Prize Papers and in project-related areas."
Natalie has taught us so much. Her generosity of spirit. Her active and curious mind until the end. Appreciating junior and senior scholars alike without distinction. She was an inspiration. It was an honor to have known her.
DIGITAL ARCHIVES AND COLLECTIONS
CREATING ONLINE ACCESS TO CULTURAL HERITAGE by Katja Müller (2021) (Made available under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license).
"Museums and archives all over the world digitize their collections and provide online access to heritage material. But what factors determine the content, structure and use of these online inventories? This book turns to India and Europe to answer this question. It explains how museums and archives envision, decide and conduct digitization and online dissemination. It also sheds light on born-digital, community-based archives, which have established themselves as new actors in the field".
Avis aux contemporanéistes du réseau. L'arrière grand-père de ma compagne était un militant du PC dans les Vosges, à Gérardmer. J'ai appris l'existence du fonds RAGSPI et j'ai découvert qu'il y avait un dossier à son nom. Je cherche à obtenir la copie de ce dossier dont on trouve la réf ici : https://sovdoc.rusarchives.ru/sections/organizations//cards/230582
Qui sait comment accéder à ce fonds et qui pourrait en détenir une copie ? J'ai compris que des microfilms pouvaient exister en France... #archives@archivistodon@histodons

Néanmoins les dossiers personnels ne sont pas en ligne. Il semble qu'ils soit consultable sur à Moscou. Toutefois une partie des dossiers semblent être consultable au Centre d’Histoire Sociale de Paris 1. Quelqu'un a-t-il des infos complémentaires ?
What she says at 4:11: I don't think the U.S. Library of Congress does this or anything remotely like it for digital editions--would that it did! Considering all the lost information that went into a dark hole with the loss of Geocities and Angelfire websites (thinking about the history of genre romance covers, for example)
Digital hoarding isn't free, it costs time, money, & carbon impacts
We don't have time & funding to waste chasing self-publishers around to provide the US Library of Congress w/ free material, it's misplaced anthropocentric hoarding in a world where entire ecosystems are being erased
imagine being asked to send copies of all your works to a Trump or DeSantis Library of Congress
@macgraveur@histodons@archivistodon Ho que j'aime ce genre de choses ! Particulièrement l'approche par graphe, même si ce n'est peut-être pas le plus intuitif.
Et quel plaisir d'y trouver ses données...
