. . . Title Removed . . .

The title applies to how hard I worked today – phew! I was at OHA today, originally thinking I would finalize the Powerpoint presentation for the upcoming Christmas events, and work with Sarah on the image database. That’s it – that would have been enough. NOPE! I worked with Mike to switch the display case [...]

Mt. Ogden, Trapper’s Loop, Utah

I just found the following photos on one of the mailing lists I’m on – the person who sent them did not take them. I was so awestruck with the beauty I had to share them with you. I wish I knew who took them so I could give them credit (and ask if I [...]

‘The Digital Ice Age’

Interesting, I was reading through Archivists’ Blogs, and found a link to this Popular Mechanics article, December 2006 The Digital Ice Age. Just more to consider in thinking digitization is cool.
