Twenty-some years ago I reminded my MLS students to store their libraries' card catalogs (not throw them out). Major power outages, I said, mean all your records will be inacessible & perhaps lost. You'll need those cards then. Feeling like a seer these days.

Question for #archivists: what is a good way to store video and audio recordings? One that takes up minimal space and will be accessible in decades to come? And that could be attached to a physical scrapbook in some way? #archive #history #rarchivalrecords

OK! #archivists and #libraryscience folks! I need some help. Is there any published or well known methodologies for searching your collections for an item that has been misplaced? As in, "we are 99%" sure it is still in the collection, but it is not where it should be... halp"
