Hi, I’ve been a librarian for over 30 years. I’ve worked in academic, corporate, and public libraries in Reference, Aquisitions, Collection Development, Cataloging, and now Local History & Genealogy/Archives.

@Throsby @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology old microfilm will get vinegar syndrome if it isn’t stored properly and if it is older acetate microfilm. Eventually it will become unusable. It’s expensive to replace just one reel of microfilm. Old newspaper clippings will all eventually crumble. I believe librarians and archives are the best place to save our history and culture. Unfortunately they are often not well-funded.
