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.

35mm nitrate film frame clippings from Italian film historian Davide Turconi’s massive collection, covering filmmaking’s earliest years (via 50 Watts)

I love how at first glance I was like “that’s nitrate!” (my gods, I’m so lame sometimes)
