I've come across several Sepia Saturday posts and have wondered, Hmmm, what is this? <br />I love the idea of it, the manifesto. I think it's a wonderful to preserve our past. <br /><br />Happy Monday,<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-37649676170738300502010-01-18T15:21:54.013+00:002010-01-18T15:21:54.013+00:00excellent manifesto!

I'll look and see what I've got related to the digital realm. Meantime, don't throw papers and photos out. I read this stuff for the archiving class offered by my MLS programme. You or Kat might want to take a peek if I can find what I'm thinking of.<br /><br />Enjoy your time away!ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-64245762933135600152010-01-17T16:15:19.281+00:002010-01-17T16:15:19.281+00:00Alan, I share your sentiments exactly about this ...Alan, I share your sentiments exactly about this little phenomenon we have birthed.
