this is dated march 59, but i have good reason to believe it was used, in alcatraz, as the only official log page of that section for more than three and a half years, until november or december 1962

I used to live with a guy who was in a master's program at the University of Michigan studying document preservation and archiving, or whatever it's officially called. I tried to ask him a number of times about what exactly it was that he did, but he could never tell me. He's definitely one of the most boring people I have ever known.

Call the main branch of the SF library. There are at least two archivists who work on the top floor. If you visit, check out some of their old photographs. I love that building.

i went when they first opened it, it's pretty amazing

I'd probably trash it.

But things like that hold no value to me
