Can you share a link to that academic archive of mythology and folklore :0
In reference to my tags on this post, the academic website I was thinking of is this archive of folklore and mythology:
The stories are organized by theme or trope:

Black Film Archive: “28 Films for the 28 Days of Black History Month”
Pictured L to R: Cosmic Slop (1994), De cierta manera (1974), Cracks (1975), The Magnificent Major (1974), A Day in the Life of Willie Faust, or Death on the Installment Plan (1972), The Case of the Elevator Duck (1974), and Cornbread, Earl, and Me (!975)
The Black Film Archive is an online archival project dedicated to presenting 100 years of Black cinema in all its profound cultural and historical context. In celebration of Black History Month ‘25, Maya S. Cade, the archive’s creator, has curated an excellent list of 28 short and feature films.
The curation of this “28 for 28” series is centered on “visions of resistance, childlike wonder, and unending imagination.” And, as I’ve been watching through the list, the selection of films definitely embodies the theme. Outstanding work!
I have to admit that I was instantly intrigued by this series because it’s rare that I come across a Black-cinema-themed list mostly full of movies I haven’t seen—or never even heard of!
Pictured above are the films I’ve seen so far—they are all worth watching. You can find more information on each film on the BFA site. (I don’t want to be redundant.)
As usual on here, feel free to ask if you need any specific trigger or content warnings for any movies I recommend and I’ll try to accommodate.
So today, I got to monologue to a classmate about archives for a full half hour and they not only listened, but walked away enthused and considering making a donation. Today to was a good day!

Okay. I'm doing research for a social studies assignment, and I've recruited my mum to help me. She initially wanted to go to the library to find stuff.
But then I introduced her to online archives. And now she's fangirling over it and saying she wants to go back to school just so she can write essays and stuff using all the resources.
I haven't seen her this excited or happy about something in a long time. It's making me happy. He.
Online archives are great.
Freedom of the Press Foundation is launching an online archives collection in partnership with Archive-It, a service developed by the Internet Archive to help organizations preserve online content. Our collection, focusing on news outlets we deem to be especially vulnerable to "billionaire problem," aims to preserve sites in their entirety before their archives can be taken down or manipulated.
Thanks Denmark
You know the feeling when you want to find a particular radio broadcast for a particular performance in the past so you search google/archive.org and no audio shows up? And the thought that you might need to travel a few countries and visit a few archives (and you still may or may not find them)? this engine has proven to be so useful for me (although only for certain euroradio broadcasts if you are lucky enough; most radio broadcasts are still irretrievable errrrrrrrrr
Our October 2016 storify is up!
This time around, we tried a more informal chat, since our audience is mostly LIS and the article is some archives inside baseball.
