My parents arrived yesterday for a short visit, so we’re off to explore and picnic today. Meanwhile here are some archives-related articles as your historical highlights for the week. Enjoy.
“Servicemembers mark 74th anniversary of D-Day landings in lead-up to next year’s big event”
“Ira Berlin, transformative historian of slavery in America, dies at 77”
“This Black Newspaper Archive Is Bringing All Of Its Records On Black History Online, For Free”
“How Digital Archives Delete the Human Experience”
“UNBC archivist lands major grant”
The article “How Digital Archives Delete the Human Experience” is excellent. I suspected as much, but had no facts! That said, I’ve really enjoyed looking on-line at digitized manuscripts that I’d never have got to see otherwise.
