#Archiving

Brief behind-the-scenes of our stamp archiving process..stay tuned for new postage stamp sticker packs! #archiving #stamps #philately #history #kharita

Archives aren’t just for museums, libraries, and government buildings. They live in our homes, our phones, and the everyday moments that shape our lives, and your phone already holds the foundations of a personal archive. Photos, videos, texts, voice notes, voicemails, etc., all hold memories that connect us to our families, our communities, and our histories. In the first episode of History Starts at Home, we’re starting with the basics: What is an archive, and how can you start building one today? Because preserving our stories helps ensure a richer, more expansive history for the future. When you’re ready to get started use these 3 simple steps: 1️⃣ Make a short list of memories you want to archive 2️⃣ Create a folder on your phone or cloud storage called “Memory Archive” 3️⃣ Start adding photos and videos from the moments that matter to you to this folder #archiving #archives #digitalarchives #familyarchives #memories

i’ve been trying to create more journaling practices that fit my life and overall goal for journaling and here’s one i landed on ✍️ 🌟📓#commonplacebook #journaling #archiving

Over the past two weeks, I’ve had the honor of learning the bichromate over platinum and palladium photographic process from artist Diana Bloomfield at Penland School of Craft. Working with these historic techniques offered me space to reflect on how stories are preserved—and what it means to hold memory in a form that resists time. Unlike silver gelatin prints, which are prone to fading, platinum and palladium prints are among the most archival photographic processes—capable of lasting over 1,000 years. Developed in the late 19th century as a fine art alternative to silver-based photography, the process uses negatives and hand-coated paper to create images with luminous tonal depth. Because the image becomes embedded into the fibers of the paper, each print feels like a relic, a vessel for memory. While I was creating these pieces, I was also reading Susan Sontag’s, On Photography (1977), which examines the complex ways photographs shape our understanding of memory, mortality, and truth. She states, “All photographs are memento mori… to take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality.” Her words lingered in my mind, and through each step of the process: mixing chemistry, brushing emulsions, and using light to draw out images, like historias surfacing from silence. This idea guided my work as I sought to archive both personal and collective histories—the intimacy of memory and the inherited stories that shape us. These images, many taken on a 35mm film and others on my Fuji digital. They were printed on Platinum Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag Fine Art Paper. Deepest of gratitude to @penlandschool for awarding me the David Rayfield Scholarship to attend this workshop, to @dhbloomfieldphoto_dinahlee for sharing your wisdom, and to @sheri.hill27 for assisting. Grateful for my fellow photo Penland pals—all the laughter and cackles are still ringing in my ears. 😂 Well, that’s all I have for you today. And as Good ol’ Marsha says—AMF. ✌🏼 #platinumpalladium #platinumpalladiumprint #archiving #alternativephotography #familyarchives #historias #penlandschoolofcraft #graduatestudent #print #photography #contemporaryprintmaking

In an increasingly digital and interconnected world, the process of archiving visual material has changed dramatically. No longer limited to just libraries, museums, or books, archives now exist in abundance across digital spaces; whether you're interested in 18th Century folk art or The Simpson's cinematography, you can be sure that there's an archive out there for you. With greater access to materials, stories and communities, the ways in which creatives are archiving is becoming increasingly more inventive, intriguing and inspired - and we wanted to know more. Over on the site we've spoken to a handful of creatives about their love of archiving, which you can read via the link in our stories. You can also help us build an archive of archives by sharing some of your fave creative collections ⬆️ #itsnicethat

Before we had the very necessary language of ‘cultural caretaker’, our mothers, aunties, and grandmothers have always been the original tastemakers in the home and beyond🪞🤲🏽 I adore this moment from the new episode of @theartofitallshow where art historian, curator, and researcher Rashieda Witter speaks about the way her grandmother shaped her earliest understandings of aesthetics and Black visual culture. Now having held curatorial roles at institutions from The Phillips Collection to the National Gallery of Art, Rashieda reflects on how family and community inform her commitment to uplifting Black creative genius.

i think of art as a way of archiving our lives. Just as humans once felt the need to discover language, we make art out of that same need- to express and communicate, but also to remember. Our art is proof that life happened and that we let life flow through us 🌬️ five years ago, i designed and built my own website with @wix and today, im so happy to be sharing my intention and inspiration behind that process🌷 . . . #WixPartnership #visualartist #photography #website #digitalgarden ,flowers, life of an artist, mixed media art

What a project! 🥳🥳🥳 Skip 21 working days and viola 🎩 4 areas of archiving done 💫 and dusted 💨 We did suggest digital archiving methods, but this company needed it in the old school way, AND we LOVED it!! @garageguys.co.za @plastilon_packaging #archiving #corporate #files #chempure #whataproject #organised

안녕하세요, 류해찬입니다! 작년 졸업 전시 때 현장에 방문해 주신 많은 분들이 프로젝트 과정을 정리한 책을 좋게 봐 주시고 관심을 가져주셨는데요, 당시 책 편집을 도와주었던 준석이 @han_joonseok 와 협업하여 내용을 더욱 다듬은 결과물로 텀블벅을 진행하게 되었습니다. Cor! 책은 총 128쪽(변동 가능)으로 구성되었으며, 각 과정마다 함께 작업했던 팀원 정해찬 @j_hchn ,그리고 지도 교수님과 나누었던 생각들을 담았습니다. 얼리버드로 구매 시 책 외에도 엽서 및 포스터를 할인된 가격에 받아보실 수 있습니다. 링크는 프로필을 통해서도 접속하실 수 있으니 많은 관심 부탁드립니다! Last year, many people who visited our graduation exhibition spoke highly of the book that documented the project process and showed a lot of interest. Working with Junseok, who helped with the book’s editing, we’ve refined the content further and are now launching a campaign on Tumblbug. Cor! is 128 pages(can be changed) long and includes thoughts shared with team member Haechan Jeong and our professor during each phase of the project. As an early bird, you can receive postcards and posters at a discounted price along with the book. You can access the link through my profile, so I would appreciate your support!

Anthropology student Arthur Morgan shares their experience in the ANTH 440 student internship project, “The Archdeacon W. H. Collison Fonds: A visual exploration,” at the Northern BC Archives and Special Collections at UNBC, supervised by Anthropology Chair Dr. Angèle Smith. Awesome job, Arthur! 👏 Interested in interning this fall, especially if you’re an ANTH and HIST majors? Email [email protected] or contact your department head to learn more.
