By the time I left class on Thursday, I definitely felt like everyone was beginning to hit their stride with archiving. I spent quite a bit of time over the past few days looking at the entries you all have contributed to the Archive and they are very moving. I am anxious to see the secondary collections and the exhibits you are currently working on to see your perspective on your individual’s life, working with the material you have, and integrating what additional information you are able to uncover through your research. I don’t know if it has hit you yet, but you have created a beautiful piece of work. I do hope in the midst of your effort to complete your entries, that you are able to step back, look at it with fresh eyes, and feel proud of your accomplishment.
On a separate note, I am including a link to the Euopeana Digital Archive. You will probably recognize some familiar Dublin Core elements when you look at individual items. It’s quite beautiful and amazing. Click on the text link to go to their portal. Click on the image for their exhibits, enjoy.
