Hi folks! Archive Journal is taking a hiatus from Twitter from 9/1/2018-2/1/2019. While you may see intermittent posts from us during this time, we won't be actively monitoring our feed. Thanks for following us and we look forward to a refreshed take on the field next year!

In 2005, #Banksy installed this ‘cave painting’ in one of our galleries without permission, and without anyone noticing. He gave it a fake ID number and label, and it remained on the wall for 3 days before the Museum was alerted to the prank via Banksy’s website!🤦‍♀️ #IObject

In ancient Mesopotamia, children who were to become scribes would practice writing by impressing repeated cuneiform characters on clay. This tablet (which we call the "first day of school" tablet) depicts the single vertical wedge repeated over and over across its surface.

Libraries must increasingly prepare themselves to answer questions such as this: "Are your collections ethically sourced and sustainably acquired?"

Visited @DundeeHowff today. Established in the 1560s it contains an amazing collection of #tombstones, many of them commemorating local tradesmen.

Check out this great digital archive of documents from colonial Cuba and the Spanish Atlantic world! The project (including translations) is a faculty/student collaboration -- a resource for history research _and_ a model for #teaching. Kudos to @ProfessorBall and her students!
