Es una biblioteca fantasma de textos mantenida por bibliotecarios amateurs. La mayoría parece ser filosofía y política (¿con un énfasis en marxismo?), pero hay cientos de miles.
Muy fan, sobre todo por la parte de catalogación y tageado de textos, que es la parte más de 'biblioteca' que le faltaba a otras shadow libraries (como Anna's Archive).
Wikipedia's Did You Know section today features the article on 'An African Song or Chant from Barbados', which was nominated for inscription on UNESCO's Memory of the World International Register.
The song (manuscript pictured) was originally sung by enslaved West Africans in sugar-cane plantations in Barbados.
The article was created by Martin Poulter, resident at the Khalili Collections: https://bit.ly/3WJ5XVf
Memory of the World
As the last days of 2024 slip by, I am preparing to enter 2025, a new year of possibilities and opportunities. This is also a time for me to look back on a year full of memories of what has been and reflect on how the events and choices made In 2024 inform the way in which I view the coming year.
Looking back, I can see the challenges faced and the victories celebrated. Each experience has shaped not only my perspective but also my goals for the future. The lessons learned serve as a foundation for personal growth, reminding me to embrace both the successes and setbacks. I aim to carry forward the wisdom gained, while remaining open to new experiences that lie ahead.
The question then becomes, how do we document our memories? How do we preserve our experiences, which are unique to our time and place?
One of my goals for 2025 is to explore how individual experiences add to the history of our time. Through various mediums—be it writing, photography, and community discussions—I aspire to document my own journey within the context of the diverse experiences of others. With every day lived, we add to the collective tapestry of humanity.
A few days ago, serendipity stepped in and sent me a notice about the Memory of the World. It was the first time I heard about this UNESCO programme.
House of Octavius Quartio, Pompeii (Rebecca Budd Archives October 27, 2024)What is Memory of the World?
The world’s documentary heritage is a collective treasure that belongs to us all. Memory of the World is about protecting this treasure for our time and for the generations that will follow us. This is a collective effort that aims to give honour and recognition to cultural mores and practicalities.
The Memory of the World Programme works to facilitate preservation of the world’s documentary heritage especially in regions impacted by conflict or natural disasters. Universal access to Memory of the World is critical to providing international understanding and cooperation. Fostering public awareness highlights the essential need for preserving our invaluable records of human history, culture and knowledge.
House of Octavius Quartio, Pompeii (Rebecca Budd Archives October 27, 2024)What we do today is important and carries significance. Our beliefs, values, and hopes are not merely personal attributes; they are vital threads woven into the broader narrative of humanity. By acknowledging and celebrating our own stories alongside the diverse narratives from around the globe, we gain a clearer perspective on the world around us. This understanding fosters compassion, allowing us to act with greater empathy towards others.
