The first review of @bloomsburyacademic.bsky.social Archives and Emotions volume is out! Very useful reading by @harvard.edu Madelyn Lugli. Chuffed by the "The volume captures the excitement of a conference corridor conversation... " bit, that was the hope. issforum.org/essays/PDF/R...

Loved giving a talk at @alpineclub.bsky.social @alpineclublib.bsky.social last night on the history of the UIAA and also of its connection with the League of Nations. t.co/dJdcDhrY4l

An image from a newspaper. The header says "Shall we ever see it finished". The image is of a very large building under construction. There is scaffolding around it. Next to it is a completed building.
Did you know that we hold the records for Aston's predecessor organisations and student's organisations, including their publications?
In Dec 1956 the Journal of the Guild of Students of the College of Technology, asked whether our main building -at that point half complete- would ever be finished.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.

This would be why I am such a strident critic of digitization as a substitute for actual archival preservation. My sixteenth century documents are far sturdier and likely to survive another 500 years than the detritus on the internet. And digitization is not democratization.

This! Astonished by how many reasonable people, even environmentalist ones, are mechanically using AI as a toy without questioning its impact as they would with a flight or any other activity that negatively impacts the environment.

Just back from #SHAFR2025. As always, left so impressed and energized: on to turning that unwieldy manuscript into one of them volumes at the book exhibit! If only I could have ½ day every week of that magic SHAFR tonic!

And that is why people should be taught since nursery school to defend the integrity of the processes through which documents are preserved and accessed. May this alert all (everywhere!) about the importance of education in what archives/archivists/historians are and do.
