as an archivist I am begging you
put dates on everything
donβt believe digital stuff is preserved forever - if itβs really important (documents, photos, etc) print it out
name your files accurately I know it sucks but please
donβt destroy the original just bc you scanned it
rubber cement is the devilβs adhesive use photo corners and quit gluing shit
you will NOT remember write it down
if you staple things to the inside of a folder I will find you
your public library probably has equipment to digitize old media for free or can at least get you connected with somewhere that does!
