Getting out there

The perennial dilemma in paper archives is having a lot of great stuff and no way to find it. Getting Out There, or creating access as we call it in the archives world, is all about helping people find you.

Today I created an intranet portal and posted some policy documents. Want to give me stuff for the archives? Want to volunteer? Are you going to try to drop some disks of JPEGs on me? It's a start. It's fun -- after I jumped through a bunch of technology hoops.

So welcome to the Mount Archives blog. There's always something happening in the archives. Believe me.
