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!

i’m a conservator i’m going to double and triple emphasize the point about staples and adhesives. obviously if you’re just having fun, do whatever you want, but these are rules of thumb for anything important like documents, photos, or artwork you want to last for posterity.

if you want something to last as long as possible, DONT USE METAL!!!!!!! not just staples, but paperclips too!!! they rust and the rust will not only stain the paper, it’ll eat a hole in it. if nobody is around to fix it, the rust just keeps spreading until the paper it’s touching dissolves.

if you can avoid it, DON’T TAPE OR GLUE things onto backings!! tape is especially a problem because it can be extremely difficult and time consuming to remove, and it leaves stains. masking tape is basically the worst possible option. if you have to glue something, use an acid free PVA glue and make sure what you’re gluing it to is an acid free archival quality material, or else you’re sticking it to something that will make it degrade faster! photo corners are a good option like mentioned above. they also sell clear plastic strips that you can use to hold things in place without having adhesive touch them.

this isn’t mentioned in the post but! NEVER EVER LAMINATE THINGS IF YOU WANT THEM TO LAST! paper produces its own acids over time, and lamination traps them against the paper instead of letting them evaporate into the air. it will make the paper turn yellow, then brown, and then it’ll crumble inside the laminate. and lamination is almost impossible to reverse once it’s done. if you want a clear protective layer for something, just get a polyester sleeve!

i’m working on a photo album right now that was clearly made with a lot of love, but the paper in the album is cheap, acidic, dyed paper (similar to a thick construction paper) and they glued the photos in with some kind of awful industrial glue that only seems to budge if you soak it in acetone. it’s going to take me forever to get the glue off, if i even can. the pages of the album is also damaged now because i couldn’t use liquids to remove the photos, ant the paper skinned, so now those need to be repaired too. if they had used photo corners, this project would’ve taken 1/10 of the time and energy.

NO BUT YOU ALL NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW FUNNY THIS IS THEYRE LITERALLY FILLING A ROBOT WITH BULLETS, LIKE BULLETS THAT YOU FIRE FROM A GUN. NOW NORMALLY FIRING A GUN TRIGGERS THE BULLET TO EXPLODE CREATING A PRESSURE THAT CAUSES THE TIP OF THE BULLET TO BE FORCED OUT OF THE BARREL AT A HIGH SPEED.

WHaT CAVE JOHNSON’S TURRET’S DO IS LOAD A TON OF FUCKING BULLETS INTO THE CASE OF THE SENTRY LIKE IT”S A GODDAMN GUMBALL MACHINE AND THEN USE A FUcKIN SPRING LOADED PISTON TO FIRE IT THAT IS SO UNNECESSARY AND INEFFECTIVE LIKE NO WONDER CHELL CAN RESIST SO MANY BULLETS THE LIKELIHOOD ITD CAUSE ANYTHING MORE THAN A BAD BRUISE IS LIKE ONE IN A HUNDRED

but it’s 65% more bullet per bullet
