The oldest public collection of radical history completed a digital archive of over 2,000 posters. The Joseph A. Labadie Collection <http://quod.lib.umich.edu/l/lbc2ic?cc=lbc2ic;page=index;c=lbc2ic> at the University of Michigan Library announced this month <http://www.lib.umich.edu/blogs/beyond-reading-room/hidden-treasures-now-online> that its posters on anarchism, civil liberties, feminism, labor, and other political movements are online for the first time. “It’s not enough for us to preserve the artifact if people cannot see it,” Julie Herrada, Labadie Collection curator, told Hyperallergic. “Posters are a difficult format because they are fragile and can only withstand so much physical handling, so providing access to these materials while keeping them safe is a complicated process, or it was, until the technology and resources became more readily available to us.” http://bit.ly/1T3QwhJ http://bit.ly/1T3QwhJ+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org "The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition. They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations." Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
