The archivists equivalent to the Hippocratic Oath?👇

Oath of #medieval chancery record keepers c1487: stay at post unless given leave, don't carry records outside the #archives, don't show them to unauthorised people, restrict copying to stop fraud, report untruths spotted in the docs to your boss. C 193/1 fol 84 @UkNatArchives

Sure I want people to read the post, but also I’m just really pleased with this picture I made (graphic design is my passion etc) acidfreeblog.com/documentation/…


What's your reading room look book? Stylish (read: warm) jumper for the cold room? Naked nails for the sake of your reading material? A winged eye but no red lip? Your best library themed socks? Your most author like pair of specs?

Getting myself ready to visit some rare books at the @britishlibrary today 💅
