One Last Note

Here it is guys, the last note from 2M11. With the finding aid done, we've been taking care of last minute details this past week, and are now nearing the finish line. Thanks to everyone for reading and occasionally commenting. I hope you enjoyed reading the blog as much I as I enjoyed writing it! The email address for the blog account is rbmlblog@gmail.com so if you have any questions about the blog in the future, you can address them there. Otherwise, you can visit the RBML at Columbia University to finally see all of the stuff I've been writing about in person (or send an email to rbml@libraries.cul.columbia.edu). There are many wonderful archivists and librarians there waiting to assist you.

It has been great to check in with your progress on this project. Congratulations on your work. I will miss reading along.

What do you plan to do with the blog now that the project is over? I have been pondering this as I near the completion of the Chew Papers project, and am curious what others are doing with these processing documentaries.

Wishing you well,
Cathleen Miller

That's a good question, Cathleen! I don't really know. I think that at some point its going to be accessible from the RBML website, and I guess will just live there indefinitely. I'm not planning on updating it anymore, as the project is finished, and I'm now at NYU's Tamiment Library. I'd be curious to know what you (or others) decide to do. Please keep me posted, either by posting here or by emailing me at rbmlblog@gmail.com.

I guess you could say that since the blog is about the "processing" part of the project, now that the project is over, the blog should be over, too. And it is over in the sense that I won't be updating it anymore. But as far as saving it as a record of the processing in any other way than just leaving it here on Blogger . . . I'm not sure anything else should be done with it.

Again, let me know what you think, or write about it on your own blog--I've enjoyed following your progress, too!
