Two young people sit at a computer monitor watching something on the screen. Both people have their phones and notepad in front of them.

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?
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.
Yes I don't get why you can't make it a permanent preference?!
That's a real shame

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand
You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

An edit of a 'Traitors' confessional shot with Robert Jenrick sat in the chair. The caption identifies him as 'Robert' 44, Wannabe PM and a traitor'.
Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward
Yeah that's also why I waited! And several Tate exhibitions for the same reason
Does anyone know of any large collections of correspondence between women covering the 1910s-1960s? I have surveyed a huge collection covering 30+ years of friendship and I’m wondering how unique it is?

With every moment that we struggle with some palaeography, another archivist is attracted to the document. At the current rate, the entire archive sector will be in the office by the end of the day.
Oh right that does explain the people. With nearly every exhibition I always try to not go in the last few weeks, but I always forget!
