How Do Archivists Package Things? The Battle of the Boxes
21st September 2024
We’ll show you how archivists package (or “house”) the most common types of physical documents for long-term storage. That is, we’ll talk boxes and files. And we’ll benefit from the experience of special contributors from the United Kingdom to compare how archivists in Canada and the UK commonly do their packaging.
Much of what we know about times past is because some people saved stuff that most of us would have thrown out. Just sayin’.
(No, I didn’t know that Archivist Barbie was a thing. Ya larn suthin new everday.)
