I could probably like, go looks this up or something, but I've got a headache and looking things up feels like work (cause I'm a librarian so, it literally is my work) so I'm asking here instead:
Does anyone know if the WGA has an archivist or archival team preserving the picket signs being made or recording their contents in some way? As I mentioned, I am a librarian, and I feel like recording things like this is important to history and research in the future. I am also a union steward and the history of labor movements and strikes is so important to future movements.
I really hope someone is archiving this stuff, recording it for posterity. Picket signs would be considered somewhat ephemeral in terms of the type of media they are, and ephemera gets lost in the shuffle a lot, but they really should be kept in some form or other.
And like, not for nothing, but I'd pay a good $50-$100 USD for a coffee table book that was just photos of the WGA picket signs so long as all of the proceeds went to the union and strike funds.
