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.

"From the postmodernist perspective, every discourse, every text, every document, every artifact, is just one representation of reality; one narrative among many, and inevitably, one constructed by the most powerful elements in society. Nothing is neutral and nothing is objective."
