What technology would you suggest I use to start building a web-based log/database of things in my collection/archive?
These range from books to prints to original artworks to stickers and even small physical objects.
I was looking at Zotero, which ticks a few boxes, but would prefer something that's a bit more stripped back in terms of detail, and works for a wider range of items.
Can be self-hosted, although I don't have a huge budget.
I'm definitely a week behind in posting interesting tidbits from the YIVO archive đ«ŁđČ of which I've documented many. It's partly because Mastodon doesn't seem to load well on the WiFi there or on the subway where I lose service a lot, but I'll have to sit and post some goodies sometime soon.

I wrote a guide with screenshots and red arrows for how to archive your Instagram and Facebook accounts. So that you can more easily delete yourself from those platforms.

I usually leave a new laptop sticker-free for a few months. I've had this MacBook Air for over a year and have finally broken it in with a #sticker from @molly0xfff, which arrived last week and is even more timely now than when I ordered it. They are available from https://store.mollywhite.net/collections/stickers

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government.

Dear hivemind, do you know of examples of online archives/libraries that make searching a fun experience, with chances of finding unexpected treasures?
Out now! Archivist Actions, Abolitionist Futures, published by CLIR. https://www.clir.org/2025/01/clir-releases-new-report-in-pocket-burgundy-series-archivist-actions-abolitionist-futures-reimagining-archival-practice-against-incarceration/
You may be surprised to find out how present the carceral state is in cultural heritage work. Caring people all across the US are working to reject this system as a norm. By centering people and building communities of practice and support, we can identify where the carceral state shows up and take action to dismantle it. The essay authors describe experiences doing this hard work. #archives #abolition
"We abandon the body and what it learns by being in the world - the physical world - at our peril."
I wrote about the basements of the @britishlibrary, what I learned there about historical method - and why ChatGPT can only ever be garbage.
