A new home for Crash Space for Archivists

February 3, 2010 by Dee Dee

A while ago I started Crash Space for Archivists so we could all find housing for conferences. Remember that? Of course you don’t. It was just a standalone Google form, and not that easy to use. Fortunately, those NewArchivist kids have taken over CSFA and made it all fancy. Check it out!

If you have room in your living space for some awesome arrangers, please sign up. New archivists (and not-so-new archivists) would really appreciate it. And if you’re ever at a conference in the Philadelphia area, my house is first on the list.

(Thanks to Timothy Greig for the photo, to @archiwicz for letting me rearrange my hours to do a comic this morning, and to A&A for being awesome as usual.)

Did you hear the one about the archivist mohel?

He saved all his clippings…in acid-free boxes.
