Archival Today: A Fresh Look at Preserving the Past. News, Expert Advice, Resources and More from Gaylord.
Happy New Year from Archival Today! With our newsletter, we hope to provide you with educational insight and resources that better help you preserve your collections throughout 2012. February 2012, Issue 4. In This Issue: Making Our Archives "Sound" by Dean DeBolt, University of West Florida.
Making Our Archives "Sound" by Dean DeBolt. DeBolt, University Archivist & Librarian for the University of West Florida Archives and West Florida History Center, discusses how UWF adopted the free open source software program Archon to put descriptions of its vast collections of manuscripts, photographs, maps, blueprints, audio and video materials, and more online. He also details how the university used Archon and Audacity software to make one of its most popular audio collections on cassette tape, the "Creek Indian History Project," available to researchers and users through digital streaming.

Surf Over 100 Years of History Online The Surfing Heritage Foundation in San Clemente, CA is dedicated to preserving the history of surfing, from artwork, photos and videos of legendary surfers to actual surfboards, wetsuits, wax and more. If you're not in the California area to visit their exhibit on the evolution of the surfboard-illustrated by the largest collection of surfboards under one roof-you can surf SHF's extensive offering of interactive exhibits on their website. From a comprehensive Flash-based timeline of the history of surfing to a YouTube channel that welcomes patron submissions, SHF aims to educate and increase the appreciation and understanding of the wave riding culture worldwide. Surf Now. Virginia Association of Museums (VAM), Newport News, VA, March 18-19. Learn More.

The Library of Congress Archives Your Tweets The Library of Congress is home to the largest rare book collection in North America, the rough draft of the Declaration of Independence, a Gutenberg Bible and now the 140-character daily musings and updates of millions of ordinary people. Every public tweet since Twitter's 2006 inception, from President Obama's tweet about winning the 2008 election to what your neighbor ate for lunch two years ago, has been donated to the Library of Congress. The LOC will preserve the Twitter archive and make it available to researchers as part of a historical record of communication, news reporting and social trends. Although it is certainly a wealth of information and only public tweets are part of the archive, some people may have misgivings that their thoughts on Charlie Sheen's meltdown are now part of the historical record. LOC Announcement. Listen to Federal News Radio's LOC Interview.
