#NationalLibraryWeek 2025 theme is “drawn to the library." Here's a draw to Allen and Phyllis Knisley #WWII collection. Pamphlet by Lucy Knisley about grandparents' exchanged letters during #war. Lucy gifted it to grandparents on 60th wedding anniversary. bit.ly/mahnblog-kni...
A small booklet. The cover of the booklet depicts an open suitcase with a piece of paper in the suitcase that reads “The Letter Writers”. An open booklet shows the outline shape of a family with cursive text inside the shape. The back of a booklet that is decorated to look like an envelope addressed “To my grandparents Phyllis and Allen on their 60th wedding anniversary, Love, Lucy”.

(1/2) Kicking off our #NationalPoetryMonth series with content from James Bertolino papers. “temperate winds / transform / snowflakes and rain. / the first blossom emerges, / again, / the promise of spring!” Finding aid: bit.ly/aspace-james... #HaroldBalazs #poetry #NationalPoetryMonth #archives
A handwritten poem about spring on a white paper sits on top of a handwritten letter and a painted illustration of flowers loosely colored red and purple on a yellow background. A pamphlet for a Harold Balazs show at the Museum of Northwest Art from July 2 to October 2, 2011 is in the upper right hand corner. Below and to the left of the pamphlet are hand drawn illustrations - one of a crocodile with text wrapped around it, the other of an insect or small creature with handwritten text below it that reads “what are these that visit only after dark.” A close up of the signature to a letter. The signature reads “Love Rose & Me” and above the signature is the line “hang in there good people.”

Saving history: These archivists' mission to preserve social media record of war in Gaza
Archivists preserve social media posts from conflict zones — but verifying and protecting the vast quantity of dynamic content presents huge challenges for the teams that attempt it.
