I would love to be involved in such a project. But, as we know with archives, they can have the trouble of replicating racism/ white feminism if not handled with care. There are already medievalists of color & allies already doing this work (the screenshots! The blogs!) 7/?

So yes: thesis handed in, new alt ac job settled down. I’ve been slow and watching but now ready.
@ISASaxonists@erik_kaars@dorothyk98@margiehousley (I know there are others but my Twitter isn’t searching names well!) what’s the best way to go forward with this? 10/?1 reply 0 retweets 10 likesShow this thread -
As a start: I was planning to open up a new google account and drive for temporary storage this weekend. Medieval studies needs this archive safe. 11/ fin for now... pls message/ reply/ DM with any and all ideas/ objections/ all the rest!

I love this. Some of us had discusses this a bit last month and went to try and get access to the archive of the listserv. It's been wiped out, so unless people have been saving all the messages over the years themselves we won't have a full archive.

Would definitely be worth pooling what people have saved. I think this is a great idea as well.

Yes. I would be happy to send what I have to someone. I was a virtual packrat as a grad student and mostly saved messages related to my research but I bet I have about 15 years worth of select emails from the listserv saved on an abandoned laptop somewhere.

You just need to find one person on the Listserv who never deletes their emails (it would be me if I was on it, haven't ever deleted a single one) and you should be good! If they've got a gmail account it's easy to search too.

I also think, from very preliminary observation, that this behavior appears to be gendered. I wonder if that holds up.

I hoard emails. But I also mark them as read.
