@dymaxion @SudoNaaame i mean, UMD has a bunch of people working on community archiving, incluing queer community archiving. i'm not sure what you mean by "an approach to metadata that archiving professionals would find abhorrent"?

@dymaxion @SudoNaaame ...this is definitely _a_ way digital archiving can work, especially the initial intake stage? i've defintitely worked with collections that were unprocessed so this was essentially all the metadata that was available to me?

@dymaxion what us the hurry in this? I don't wish to sound rude or insensitive but why do you appear to come across as so desperate for thus to happen? just relax, wait, and see what comes up. Rome wasn't built in a day....

@dymaxion @oddletters Making minimally processed collections available is the new approach that is being talked about, mostly for physical materials, but born-digital materials are an area of concern as well.

I just think having library or archives people involved would be a smart thing.
