With my dear friend Adam, a Senior Archivist at my alma mater, the Archives of Ontario. Every now and again I catch myself being nostalgic for these days when I wasn't a lone ranger archivist. #archives #archivist

We had a visit from graduate students from Tsukuba University this week at the archives. They were such a great group of students. It brought me back to my years in Japan.

My daily commute now.
Not complaining.
Just observing.
And documenting.

We are still not sure how this medieval deed ended up in our university archives (that is only 55 years old). Oh provenance, where are thou?

This photo is blurry, and has a green tint, but it is one of my favourite photos of me and my dad. A month ago today he passed. I miss him every day.

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.
