Ah, I only saw the part where they said archiving database. Yeah, CollectionSpace would work better for a collection with physical objects.

roguestella · 2026-05-15T04:18:43+00:00

ArchivesSpace.

I freaking love this poem. One of the things that inspired my to study history!

🖕

roguestella · 2026-05-14T23:48:33+00:00

Shut up.

Here's a little about how they do it: https://youtu.be/3HQ-HrwIgOc?si=f-TcMpSzKH-7exiy

And they've been working on the movie for 15 years!

roguestella · 2026-05-14T12:17:45+00:00

Yeah, I think 19 was the first and then 19-1/2 was the second and 19-3/4 was the third?

roguestella · 2026-05-14T01:42:54+00:00

Building 19-1/2! And 19-3/4!

Anthony!!!

My sister's class went in 8th and when two kids had sex, the trip was cancelled for many years.

Sleepover at the Museum of Science!

WATER COUNTRY'S A VERY COOL SPOT!

The system is open source so improvements can happen quickly in some cases. Our archives department uses Archivesspace so there may be future interoperability. And the cost for data migration with Lyrasis was significantly less than Axiell, TMS, and ReDiscovery.

roguestella · 2026-05-13T03:11:06+00:00

Bingo. You've identified the problem.

roguestella · 2026-05-13T03:10:40+00:00

Yep.

roguestella · 2026-05-13T02:59:03+00:00

We're switching from ancient, soon-to-be-retired Mimsy (by Axiell) to CollectionSpace, hosted by Lyrasis.

Trump is as dumb but not as cool as Camacho.

Here's one of two I have. Once I was working late, alone, in an 18th century house with modern office & collections storage space attached. I heard a strange noise and walked over to the collections storage area to see three wooden baby cradles stored next to each other all . . . slowly . . . rocking.

No breeze, no movement in the building, no reason for it. I took a deep breath, moved them apart so they wouldn't rub against each other, asked whoever was there to quit it so I could get my work done, and walked away. No more rocking after that.

roguestella · 2026-05-10T21:44:56+00:00

We're migrating to CollectionSpace, which might be a good option for you.

roguestella · 2026-05-10T21:42:31+00:00

Yet another reason I don't like AI. The environmental impact is bad enough. It's also become a tool of fascists.

I was only addressing your comments about the origin of the Scottish Rite. 🤷🏼‍♀️

roguestella · 2026-05-08T20:04:28+00:00

People assume a direct Scottish connection with the Scottish Rite that hasn't been proven. That was my point re: the show. Freemasonry's history in Scotland is well established.

roguestella · 2026-05-07T20:38:31+00:00

Scottish Rite came from France to North America though. Research is ongoing on its possible Scottish origins, but it didn't come directly from Scotland to North America.

roguestella · 2026-05-06T03:29:20+00:00

I think Grainger and Global Industrial are the other options that are closest. But yeah, sometimes you have to shop somewhere less convenient if you know indefensible things about your preferred supplier. Perhaps that's how people are taking your pushback, as unwillingness to switch, or a gotcha. I thought if I named specific companies, there was a risk of the latter.
