Call for Contributions: Updating Visual Materials Bibliography

The Visual Materials Section steering committee has formed a working group to update our resources and bibliography for visual materials. If this project interests you, consider joining the working group by contacting Angela Schwartz at schwarzleo13@gmail.com.

The 38-page bibliography started in the 1980s by Richard Pearce-Moses and later donated to VMS has been updated periodically over last thirty years. This current revision will include:

· Member submitted resources. If you have a favorite resource that helps you with your visual materials work, please submit it via this form.

· Links to digital copies of available resources.

· Expansion of visual material types. The bibliography currently includes photographs, moving images, selected print technologies, visual ephemera, and architectural records. We will be adding resources for cartographic materials and born-digital. If there are additional formats you’d like to see represented, let us know!

New Bibliography: Public History and Archives

A few months ago I started a new page for bibliographies and invited anyone to contribute.

I’m pleased to share a new bibliography created by Hallel Yadin, Public History and Archives. This is an active project and will be updated. If you are interested in contributing to it, please let me know and I will add you as an author in Zotero or post the citations for you.

I welcome any other ideas and contributions. Thank you Hallel for all your work!

New Page: Bibliographies

Greetings Readers-

I have often seen people post requests to listservs, social media, or other places for ideas on literature to read on topics. It can be time consuming to do the research to find helpful and relevant information, and often someone else has already done it.

Therefore, I created a new page for Bibliographies. I started with SAA, SAA Sections, and did some other searching to start this compilation. I know there are many, many more out there, so please send me ones you’ve created or ones you know will be helpful to other archivists.

To stay within the goals of this blog, I’m looking for bibliographies that are directly beneficial to archivists, the work we do, and the knowledge we need. Here are some guidelines:

  • Focused on articles, books, and scholarly works
  • Grounded in, but not limited to, archival literature
  • May include works by our allied and related professions
  • May include supplemental resources (e.g. websites, blogs, etc.)
  • Can be in any format: Word, PDF, websites, Zotero, Google Docs, etc.

Have ideas for a topic where a bibliography doesn’t exist? Create one! And if you’re not sure how or where to start, let me know and let’s work together to start one.

I am very open to recommendations – I want this to be a helpful resource for archivists so please be in touch with any ideas.

Contact me with your suggestions!

New: Software Preservation Bibliography

The Software Preservation Network (SPN) is delighted to announce the release of the Software Preservation Bibliography.

Created by SPN’s Training & Education Working Group, the Bibliography is a living, curated Zotero library of resources, tools, organizations, and research related to software preservation. The Bibliography currently contains over fifty resources that span multiple formats including reports, presentations, grant proposals, blog posts, worksheets, and more!

The Software Preservation Bibliography is a living resource that can be added to as new software preservation resources become available. Aware of a resource that isn’t yet represented? Let us know via this Google Form. SPN’s Training & Education Working Group will perform batch updates on a regular basis.
If you have any questions about the Bibliography, please reach out to Katherine Boss at katherine.boss@nyu.edu.
Best wishes,
