Well, I have about a million things to do right now, but I decided instead to create a flickr account (long overdue, but got a new camera yesterday to justify it!) and repost on this blog. I had originally thought of using this blog to journal my thoughts on electronic records and current events at my work, but I've decided to go against the traditional recordkeeping model and have a joint work/personal blog.
By this time next week, I'll be in Sweden, so I'll try to post to this when I can, while I'm there. Maybe even upload some pics into my flickr account, too. I'm still too wrapped up in looming deadlines and household clutter to be excited to go, but I'm sure once I get on the plane, I'll start acting like a 12 year old.
On the work front, I'm going to try to visit the University Archives in Lund, which is located with the City Archives. The special collections is actually on campus, but I haven't heard back from the "keeper" of manuscripts. I really want to visit, though, since they have a huge collection of Turkistan manuscripts and an important collection of papers pertaining to Ravensbruck and its survivors (a concentration camp - many of the survivors fled to Sweden afterwards).
