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
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!

#TIH#OTD 04 Sep 1827: The Great Fire of Turku began. By the next day it had destroyed 75% of the city, then Finland’s largest and the site of key governmental and administrative institutions. Most Finnish #archives, including practically all #medieval material, were destroyed. #BookHistory @bookhistodons@medievodons

So I'm merrily working through bundles of archive records that require resizing to strengthen the paper structure and straight forward paper repairs when I get to this little challenge.

Is this signature written by hand directly onto the book, or is it a printed version of a handwritten signature? I want it to be the former, but my colleague thinks it's the latter.
