ALT An edited meme. The original, formatted like a question and answer, reads “Q: do ghosts exist? A: on the salary they make? Barely.” “Ghosts” has been crossed out and replaced with “archivists.” The image shows an illustration of a ghost, wraith-like, reaching for an open Hollinger box.

ALT An edited version of a Spirit Halloween costume bag. The images on the bag that show the costume inside are: a woman with brown hair burying her face in her hands, and a Hollinger box. The costume is titled “Overwhelmed Archivist” and “includes: crushing student loan debt, fundamental administrative misunderstanding of your own profession, no money, and your very own Hollinger box”

ALT The meme reads: “My reaction when someone asks why all the files in my archive aren’t digitized and available online.” The accompanying image shows a screenshot of an unknown program with two people crammed into a frame, looking at something offscreen, both dressed in early 2000s clothing. The subtitle on the image reads “and obviously, that’s not possible, even with computers.”

ALT A screenshotted tweet reading: “Trump is now calling the National Archives a radical left group of people. The National Archives. Like, librarians.” The meme creator has underlined “librarians” in red and inserted a picture below of Plankton from SpongeBob hunched over in rage, veins bulging in his head, captioned “visible frustration”

ALT An image of Yoda from Star Wars as he lies back in his bed and dies. The image is captioned: once I became an archivist, I finally understood the scene where Yoda gets so tired of answering Luke’s questions he just dies

ALT An illustration from the “Little Miss” series - simplistic drawings of shapes with legs in fun colors with cute hats. This one is captioned “Little Miss Can’t Stop Talking About Archives.”

ALT A chaotic variation of the Spider-man pointing at Spider-Man meme. In addition to yesterday’s spidermen, we now see: a crowd of Spider-Men labeled “the Student Alumni Association at like 50 colleges,” three additional Spider-Men labeled Society of Animal Artists, Suzuki Association of the Americas, and Szczecińska Agencja Artystyczna. Two Spider-Men in a negative color scheme, emerge from a portal labeled “AAS”: American Astronomical Society and American Arachnological Society. Finally, a semitransparent image of Spider-Man with his hands on his head is imposed over the whole image. Spider-Men who were already in the image include: Society of American Archivists, Society for American Archaeology, Shakespeare Association of America, Society of Automotive Analysts, Society for Ambulatory Assessment, a group of 3 organizations in Saskatchewan (Saskatchewan Association of Architects, Archery Association, and Arts Alliance), and the Sub-Aqua Association, and Sex Addicts Anonymous
