Our IMLS proposal to incorporate digital objects into Arclight got funded! Description and digital objects in one discovery interface so you can readily use existing description for digitization or describe born digital objects in aggregate. imls.gov/grants/awarded/lg-2…

We posted the CFP for our IMLS grant to build digital object discovery into ArcLight! We‘ll develop specifications to better define how digital objects relate to archival description. If you’ve worked in this space before in any context, please apply! archives.albany.edu/web/arcl…

We also have funding to bring a bunch of people to Albany to spec out archival data structures for this! So be on the lookout for an opportunity to come to scenic Albany in the cold to nerd out about archival data!

My boss's boss position is open, which is probably the most important role in our R1 ARL library. I'm not on the committee and happy to talk about the role. Salary is not listed but was previously ~120k, though I would expect that would have to go up

mailbagit 0.5.1 is up, which now correctly recognizes mbox files exported from Mac Mail (which annoyingly doesn't use the .mbox file extension) github.com/UAlbanyArchives/m…

PNGs are good for preservation. You don't need to migrate/normalize them. I am team #PNGforPreservation
If you got JPGs already they're fine too, you're not gaining anything by converting them.
We gotta get rid of these "compression is not preservation" ideas

I am very excited to share that findings from our research for the Building a National Finding Aid Network project are now available. This was a major effort to inform the future of archival discovery and I'm really proud of this work oc.lc/nafan-research

State politicians and though them the public are just not valuing the mission of research libraries. This is a long term crisis for many research libraries. Our department is going to have great collections on NYS politics and the death penalty, until we're not.

I need to look at the ARL numbers more, but at a glance, the institutions that are feeling this the most are probably disproportionately more accessible, diverse, and broadly-focused. Its hard to see how this gets better.
