bkwormkate:librarienne:lollard:ihavealotoffeelings:jrrtolkiennerd:gwuscrc:Gandalf breaking all the rules.

Maybe they did have good standards at one point, but Denethor cut the library budget and they had to downsize their storage space, let go of some staff, you know how it is.#DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON MINAS TIRITH’S POOR ARCHIVAL STANDARDS#I HAVE RANTED ABOUT THEM BEFORE#I WILL RANT ABOUT THEM AGAIN#I HAVE A TAG SPECIFICALLY FOR RANTING ABOUT THE MINAS TIRITH ARCHIVES#much that once was has been lost for none now live who can remember where we shelved itI love archivists so much.Love this But seriously…get your archival act together, Minas Tirith! -- source link
