There is no honor among thieves. She fucked around, enraged fellow archivists and historians with her MAGA bootlicking, and she found out.

Lo-fi beats to study to. Lo-fi beats for researching the decline and fall of musicians in the streaming era. Lo-fi beats in which to get your tween a stereo system. Lo-fi beats in which to wrap a jewel-case CD. A deep, comforting wall of sound, passed down.

I was thinking squarespace or something along those lines - where I could have one platform for stuff instead of like, patreon, and eventbrite, and an email list etc. I don't know if there's any option other than squarespace

It’s tradition! You throw open the door/window to let out the old year and bring in the new, and then you toss bread and outside for prosperity in the new year ✨

We’re super late to the game, it’s an amazing podcast. The American Revolution season is the perfect primer for the upcoming 250th

I think - although I’m not 100% sure - MCC met/meets at Old West Church on Cambridge Street. Glad Day’s last location was on Boylston, but I’ve heard more about groups meeting at the Bromfield and Winter St locations in the 1980s. Our Stonewall map might be helpful: historyproject.org/stonewall50

To be honest, digitization is not my area of expertise but we’ve been held back from mass digitizing because of the metadata collection and clean up we’d need to do. We’d also need to create a digital records management infrastructure of some kind… we’ve volunteer-driven so we do what we can :)

We’re on the cusp of hiring an archivist so hopefully we’ll have more DC rep! Right now I think some of our materials that are up on the DTA were ingested by DC (www.digitalcommonwealth.org/institutions...), otherwise our digitized materials are on Omeka (historyproject.omeka.net)
