For the Archivists on here who are members of SAA...

there's a petition to establish a new section for accessibility. The link includes goals for the section: https://surveymonkey.com/r/PZTQGVQ

Grant proposal: a directory of grant-funded projects whose URLs are now 404s.

What is it about the online that makes people (dudes) think that existing in a public space means they can engage in unlimited unwanted interaction? That's not how public spaces work.

If you can't even fathom the concept of consent at the level of
a conversation, you're a menace at best.

NDSA Levels of Preservation Reboot Project Implementation Subgroup Survey

We hope you might take the time to complete the following survey & let us know what you think of the Levels, especially what you like most about them, & where they might need a rethink. And please note, the survey isn’t just for those people who are already using the NDSA Levels. If you don’t intend to use them or have decided they don’t meet your needs we are also interested in hearing from you.

Hey folks -- who do you think does Codes of Conduct really well? Can you share links? I've got a bunch collected but I am sure I'm missing some!

Relatedly -- do you have favorite examples of social expectations which _aren't_ codes of conduct (e.g. things that are more aspirational about how we should BE together but aren't codes of conduct because you shouldn't enforce aspirations in the same way you'd respond to harmful behaviors)?

Been a long time coming and I'm super stoked to finally share some bilingual web archives and outreach:

Thanks to Natalie Baur for being that kind of collaborator we all aspire to be in digital archives and libraries.

Discussion going on at the birdsite about archiving US Congress members Instagrams. Not sure if any archivists have weighed in (onlu open gov advocates last I checked). Anyone doing this?

WEB ARCHIVISTS: If I want to use the materials your institution is collecting, where do I go?

(looking for both literal URLs and descriptions of the processes by which I'd found out that these exist)
