I also want to clarify: an MLIS is not required and we are considering a diverse range of types of experience with regards to data, community work, etc.
I have a new blog post out on rehousing wire recordings. Was a lot of fun to research for this process. Glad to not have to actually play one of these back. I'd be terrified of breaking it.

Do any linguists know what ASTHoLS stands for? something ... History of Language Sciences? Is it a previous name for this perhaps? We're talking 1980s.

I can't work out what it stands for but I've discovered the context at least. Their materials for the production of this volume call a series ASTHoLS (and don't reference SiHoLS).

SEPTA is very much into hostile architecture. a few years ago they removed all the lower benches at Norristown TC (you can still see the bench-shaped holes). now at Main there's these "armrests" - sawdust not even swept up, uneven spacing.
69th street station too, the large now-empty hall used to be full of benches, but even then they weren't allowed to be used late at night, when the NHSL & bus wait times really justify a seat. & a new ticket system was a wonderful opportunity to move more seats behind barriers.
