Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Today, which would have been my Dad's 128th birthday, we're finally having Christmas dinner. At this point I'm past it and would as soon move on, but Handsome Son really wants to do it, so okay.
I finally, after years and years of meaning to, have borrowed The Golden Bough.
Just to find out what the gist is. It's about religion, early beliefs and who knows what else, and it's high time I at least opened it. I've seen so many references to it.
And here are a few images from a really lovely blog, Spitalfields Life, about London and local history and characters. Today's is a departure, a post about a collection of fruit wrappers!
There are more, if you go to Spitalfields Life. I have it on my feed, and it's endlessly interesting. I have no particular stake in London, but this blog makes it interesting, with quirky events and people and all the small handmaker businesses to be found if you know where to look, and they do.
Happy day everyone, enjoy your day even if you're not quite up for it!
