Archival Education

The real reason for this blog is that eventually I want to share the results of a paper I am co-writing with a fellow UMD student/NARA employee, Dawn Sherman. We got ahead of ourselves and didn't get the IRB permissions we needed to publish our results (we used surveys). So, I hope we can put some things on this blog without getting ourselves kicked out or arrested by the IRB police. I also hope as the blog ages and develops it will become a place, outside of the formal literature, for archivists and students of archives to chat, debate, vent, and say the things they can't in the SAA listserv or the pages of the American Archivist. I put the adult content warning on so that we can be ourselves (I swear like a truck driver) not for anything dirty. Do archivists like dirty things? That is my two cents for now. Dawn has been invited to be an author here...but she can speak for herself.
