as an archivist I am begging you

  • put dates on everything
  • don’t believe digital stuff is preserved forever - if it’s really important (documents, photos, etc) print it out
  • name your files accurately I know it sucks but please
  • don’t destroy the original just bc you scanned it
  • rubber cement is the devil’s adhesive use photo corners and quit gluing shit
  • you will NOT remember write it down
  • if you staple things to the inside of a folder I will find you
  • your public library probably has equipment to digitize old media for free or can at least get you connected with somewhere that does!

So much social media discourse boils down to demanding that everyone in the entire world become emotionally mature, which, if you think about it for more than two seconds, is an obviously insane thing to demand.

You cannot bully people into becoming self-aware, either. Sorry.
