a) Many museums/archives are perpetually underfunded. So they try to get extra income wherever they can to keep the doors open, to pay people to catalogue materials, etc. |
|
18:19
🔗
|
mistym |
And b) Many museums/archives are very protective of their materials. For a lot of people that goes beyond "is the stuff preserved" into "MAKE SURE NO ONE INTERPRETS IT WRONG" |
|
18:19
🔗
|
balrog |
b) is the bigger problem :/ |
|
18:20
🔗
|
mistym |
Which is kind of ironic because archives at least make a claim that we aren't interpreting stuff for people. But many archives still want to make sure that no one "uses it wrong" |
|
18:20
🔗
|
balrog |
what do they consider "using it wrong"? |
|
18:21
🔗
|
mistym |
Maybe they misattributed it, or didn't say where they got it from. Maybe they interpreted it outside its historical context. Or what the archivist thinks its historical context should be. |
|
18:21
🔗
|
balrog |
I know museums/archives want attribution, but it should by no means be required |
|
18:21
🔗
|
mistym |
(That many archives also wonder how we can get people to be interested in our stuff, while actively turning away people who want to do things with our stuff, is a disconnect many archivists don't seem to be getting.) |
