An old man sitting on a bench in front of a giant tree says “no, I don’t think I will.”

I attended a digital forensics workshop today. I know I may have learned digital preservation basics 12-15 years ago. The fundamentals are the same. The message has changed: “You don’t HAVE to do it all. What is most important stuff to save?” Amen!! #thatarchiveslife #archivistproblems

My boss, when removing items from a magnetic self stick album, with the accompanying sounds of the pages opening, said she hoped whoever came up with these was enjoying their time in hell. #archives #archivistproblems
An image showing 3 sections of a handwritten list describing the contents from a home split into numbered boxes.
When your decluttering finds the box list you did the last time you moved house….
Which was a long time ago. Oops. #ArchivistProblems #OverRetention
also, saw this and immediately wanted to yell at them for not supporting that book correctly. #archivistproblems
Why. Why would you pack papers in a trash bag if they were shipped in a box. #archivistproblems
Me, when I tell a researcher looking for info about 16thc Chinese smallpox inoculations that another library would be her "best shot" @CPPHistMedLib #archivistproblems #badpuns #reference
I've had to type without my pinkie on my dominant hand today because it's just riddled in papercuts. No one warned me of this occupational hazard in archives school #archivistProblems
#archivistproblems the archivist of the USA is doing an AMA on tumblr and i have no idea what to ask them. (are you hiring?!)
Threw my back out by reaching for a folder, not lifting a record carton...sigh. #archivistproblems
