It’s time for #ArchiveAdventCalendar and we have been practising our Christmas gift wrapping with naughty red tape and nice acid-free tape @arascot.bsky.social
If you enjoy wrapping your Christmas Presents with a bow and putting them in boxes, the you may want to think about becoming an Archivist. Especially if you are any good at untying knots when those bows have gone a bit wrong! #BoxesAndBows #ArchiveAdventCalendar
Engraving from 'The Railway Review', 26 October 1883. It shows Help, a black and white collie type of dog, getting out of the guard's carriage of a train with a heavily bearded, uniformed guard following him. A woman and child are looking enquiringly at Help, who has a metal plate with his name on around his neck. A basket and box can be seen on the railway platform. The child has a vast bow around the waist of her dress.
Can we combine all of today's archive hashtags in one post? Yes we (tenuously) can!

Photograph of a standard brown archive box with the lid off. Inside are several 'parcels', small boxes made from blue-grey archival card and tied with unbleached cotton tape. Each has a brown label attached to the tape, with a reference number written in pencil. The reference number is also written on the card, in white pencil.
This is how we'd like the inside of all our archive boxes to look: everything neatly packaged and tied with cotton tape 🤩

Christmas tree positioned outdoors in front of a stone building. It is decorated with shiny parcels with red ribbons and bows. It has snowed and everything has a light layer of white - just enough to be decorative.
This tree covered in boxes and bows was positioned at the rear of the Dome (George Street) and could be viewed from Rose Street in Edinburgh in November 2010.
