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.
