Preservation Haiku Round-Up!

We asked, you delivered.  For your reading pleasure, haiku* reflections on preservation and archives:


Photos of the past

maps, memories, page

held in time for all


Records saved through time

Histories’ secrets unwind

Memories to find


Stacks cold as new snow

Negatives belong here but

I need three sweaters


Ancient dust and mold 

Hands covered in copper stain

but I save not kill


We preserved your heart

sugar and a cool dry place

really did the trick


Find hidden treasures

Open the dusty boxes

There lies history



*We looked this up, and apparently the plural of “haiku” is either “haiku” or “haikus.”  Just FYI.
