Beginning anew: Tales of an Archivist

After abandoning my dusty and untrodden blog for many months, I am pulling it out of oblivion yet again, this time with a new theme: Tales of an Archivist. Ok, so I'm not actually a "real" archivist-- I am a "Archival Student Assistant"-- but I don't care, I like the catchy title, and I work it the Archives. Basically, I am just blogging about random things I find interesting while doing research at work.

So first, a few things about this change:

• It will only last until the Summer of 2012. Unfortunately, that is when I will have to move on as my employment in the Oregon State University Archives can't come with me to Portland when we move from Corvallis. 
• As I come across interesting factoids and tidbits in my work, I will be commenting on them here. Sometimes my geeky awe of my discoveries is too lengthy for Facebook, but where words can become too many, an url in my status fixes all problems!
• Information will generally be OSU related, since it will have to do with my work, however if you don't really care much about OSU, keep reading if you are a fan of sports, music, history, or random odd factoids and anecdotes!
• I will try to include pictures when possible! My own, I can include at-will, however once I have permission to do so, I will also include some official Archives photos as well.
