I believe we should all start internalizing the idea that we are archivists 2.0. We save all the things as often as we can and use cutting edge technology to do it |

They received numerous estates worth of material. They spent 10 years sitting on it trying to figure out how to digitize it. At the same time their partner Michigian State University brought a ton of material online |

This was 2000 to the present time frame. Even now they have not started digitizing anything |

On top of all that to get access to the material you have to go in there at certain times of the year and you cannot scan shit |

and we are not talking about fragile papers either. This stuff was curated by the original owner and is in pristine condition. Now is the time to digitize it before too many hands on it fucks it up |

omf_: is that policy or what? |

|
omf_ |
They do not provide scanners or other equipment. |

Their policy is mostly undefined. The basic rule is stuff does not leave the building and not everything is always available |
