What's Past is Prologue

I'm an MLS student on the archives track at the University of Maryland. I found myself posting a lot of articles, photos, links, etc. regarding archives, libraries, books, and other things on my Facebook, and felt it would be better to put these posts in a place specifically for the purpose of creating a fond of sorts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonds), chronically things I find interesting about archives, libraries and books.

Oh and in the interest of citing sources, the title of the blog is from The Tempest by William Shakespeare.

The #OccupyArchive is collecting webpage screenshots, documents, videos, audio, images, and other materials related to the 2011 worldwide Occupy movement. Anyone can contribute to the digital archive. The Wall Street skyline photo is thanks to Steve and Sara Emry via Flickr Creative Commons. very cool Pretty cool stuff.
