I've been lazy regarding reading articles/books/etc. for keeping up with archive/records management matters the last few years.
Are anyone able to share recent reading lists from the archive courses? Or any recommendations on articles regarded as essential reading for the modern archivist?

Sitting at the table having breakfast with the 4yo this morning and a suspicious smell appears from the area where my son sits. Iasked him if he’d done a fart (kid is rotten on the inside, his farts are lethal!). He happily replies: “No, it was my bum saying happy birthday to you!” 🤣🤣

I once managed to break my arm by not falling off the horse when show jumping. Horse lost balance - I somehow smacked my arm into the saddle to balance myself - arm broke. Had I fallen off I'd very likely have escaped without a bruise!
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

This year’s edition of “knit a scarf for a lovely friend”, the request was “garden themed.” This makes the last scarf for this group of friends, so I shall now expect them to knit me a scarf for me. And I’ll have nothing to knit!

At a new starter induction I was asked what my favourite item in the archive was. Easy, I love the sperm whale tooth. Then they asked how we could justify keeping objects (not documents) which seemed of no particular evidential value of the company's work. I wonder how other archivists would answer?
