or perhaps I should say Anti-archival. This is from
Thomas Hood (1799-1845), British poet and humorist. Came across it
earlier this week, and just wanted to share.
"'Lives' of great men oft remind us as we o'er their pages turn, /
That we too may leave behind us — Letters that we ought to
burn."
As a professional archivist, let me officially disclaim any
endorsement of the advice given herein (harumph, harumph!!!). But just
between you, me and the keyboard, I’m guessing there are times we all
wish someone had taken these words to heart.
