The moon gives you light, And the bugles and the drums give you music, And my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans, my heart gives you love. -Walt Whitman, Dirge for Two Veterans #VeteransDay #VeteransDay2021

This Halloween, why not scare your local archivist by dressing up as: - A rusty staple - A box labelled 'misc' - A pen in a searchroom - Someone trying to order a 240 box collection - A postal deposit of floppy discs - Someone asking why you can't just 'digitise everything'
