as an archivist I am begging you
put dates on everything
don’t believe digital stuff is preserved forever - if it’s really important (documents, photos, etc) print it out
name your files accurately I know it sucks but please
don’t destroy the original just bc you scanned it
rubber cement is the devil’s adhesive use photo corners and quit gluing shit
you will NOT remember write it down
if you staple things to the inside of a folder I will find you
your public library probably has equipment to digitize old media for free or can at least get you connected with somewhere that does!
If you see more worms than usual on your way to work, start stocking up on fire extinguishers.
Always check your collegues against old photos you have of them - better safe than sorry.
If you physically cannot quit your job, i am sorry (at least you get to kill your boss though).
