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.
10 silent films were recently returned to the US from Russia.
“Loughney said lost films continue to surface in the most unusual places. A 1927 John Ford film, ‘Upstream,’ was recently found in New Zealand, he noted. ‘There are potentially hundreds of films out there,’ Loughney said. ‘We hear rumors of things in China.’”
I also like to refer to this as “job security.”
