Really poignant reminder that the journal articles posted online for old journals are not everything that was published in those journals - they also included job ads, product ads, product reviews, and more. Hard copies in libraries for the win!

I suspect it has to do with the focus on recombinatory text over image, Europe over the rest of the world, & nuance butting up against the inertia of a simple story.

I love that #SHARP2024 gave one of its two conference keynotes to a graduate student researcher—for one, it gets fresher perspectives wider attention at the event & hopefully provokes new ideas for all but two, it usefully disrupts the typical conference hierarchies—more conferences should do this

Instead of "Reading Room Rules" I love how Smith College's Special Collections uses "Community Agreements" which establishes a partnership from the start rather than a "Don't you dare." I really recommend reading through this! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

"Global governments plan to triple the world’s renewable energy resources by the end of the decade..But the ambitious pledge, agreed at last year’s COP28 climate talks, is already in doubt and experts fear that a sharp increase in energy demand from AI datacentres may push it further out of reach."

I’m interested in starter packs, helping new people get started on BlueSky & helping us all become more connected with people we’re looking for/don’t know to look for. But I’m wary of adding people without permission. I’m going to start one for UK librarians. Please say if you’d like me to add you 📚

Multiple scholars at #SHARP2024 have noted that there’s much work to be done in exploring the networks & impacts of literary agents. (This seems to be particularly true in the 20th century.)

Peter Willis talks about zine history at #SHARP2024, including “The Enchanted Duplicator” (UK, 1954), a delightful mimeographed combination of fantasy story & instructional guide to publishing by mimeograph. (Including links to PDFs of various editions.)

So interesting to think about this. I like your idea of building a diorama for each, a sort of altar to each person and their lives. Clear put the dross so you can focus on bright lights in their lives. 🤍

Hutton used the term “keep-aholic” to refer to Sylvia Beach, who kept substantial documentation of her life and bookshop work. (Shakespeare & Co. records are massive, held at Princeton.) #SHARP2024

Claire Hutton looks at the correspondence between Sylvia Beach & Harriet Shaw Weaver to help to make Weaver as Egoist Press publisher more visible. She also looks at wives/partners & other intimacy networks as James Joyce, Gertrude Stein die but families continue to steward legacies. #SHARP2024

So interesting to learn how Alice Staveley & Joshua Kotin are using Hogarth Press order books & Shakespeare & Co. lending library records, respectively, to think about publishing & reading networks. #SHARP2024

It would be helpful to know what definition of “archive(s)” a presenter intends. People in different domains often mean really different things by the term.
