Great site. I'm muddling through a ton of archival tasks at the moment too. I feel like I have the rest of my natural life planned out just trying to preserve what's come before mine. Most is personal family records and keeping up with heritage. I'd love to archive thrift store finds, but I need to reign in the scope-creep. I'd be interested in seeing some of your techniques sometime.

Awesome thanks. I actually don't have a way to drag an optical disc at the moment. I need to change that.

Thanks so much! I agree it's hard to reign in the scope creep when it feels like there's so much that needs to be preserved. I’m putting together some resources for personal archiving, but in the meantime please feel free to send me an email if there's something specific you're curious about!

Just added a filter tag to my reading log to make it a little easier to toggle between kids books, YA, and adult!

I love your photos, especially the ones of the Roswell sign! I worked at the 1-hour photo counter as one of my first jobs. I love photos with processing artifacts.
thanks so much! What an awesome first job! I bet working the counter was fun, getting to process and see everyone's photos 👀
