The "archives room," dictionaries, and the value of words in "The Great Passage"

Mitsuya in the reference room in the second episode of The Great Passage When I started watching The Great Passage, also known as Fune o Amu and Weaving a Ship, on Prime Video (of all places), I expected there would be scenes in libraries and that I would be writing a post about it on my sister Pop Culture Library Review blog, but I couldn’t be proven more wrong. Instead, this 2016 anime has…

So I am pretty sure we have known Spiral = Rita for a while now... but I don’t think we have ever actually been told HOW that happened so this fills in a lot of gaps with that... but its got some wonky time travel stuff thrown in to just make it a little more murky for funsies....

Hundreds of homes outside the boundaries of Scottsdale can no longer get water from the city, so their owners are living a worst-case scenario of drought in the West.

Why did former #Arizona governor Doug Ducey (R) hide this? I think we know why. $$

"Last week, Arizona learned that its water shortages could be even worse than many residents realized. As one of her first actions after taking office, Gov. Katie Hobbs unsealed a report showing that the fast-growing West Valley of Phoenix does not have enough groundwater to support tens of thousands of homes planned for the area; their development is now in question."

Archives and archivists are anything but neutral [Part 3]

Continued from part 2

In the first episode of Recorded by Arizal, Arizal begins to define what an record keeper means, to her.

Star Wars is not the only series with these themes. Recorded by Arizal seems to hint at the idea that "archiving will never be neutral" and is not a neutral act. This is because the protagonist in that series, which will likely never be made into a full series, Arizal, dreams to be a record keeper. In that series it is a person who will "travel across the world, trying to document it for those within the city...with the records she collects and creates." This recording of information, through a series of vlogs, will undoubtedly be shaped by what Arizal sees as important to preserve, with other aspects falling by the wayside. She will be collecting records for an archive, bound to the "records themselves, and their creation" as a keeper, even though her efforts will make the history of her city that much richer and fuller, for all to understand.

Reprinted from my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks WordPress blog. Originally published on Feb. 9, 2022.

The same could be said about Peridot in Steven Universe. As I've written closely, what she does is closest to a records analyst, while engaging in some tasks like an archivist. In those capacities, she is tasked with gathering information about the Cluster. What she is collecting is colored by her knowledge of Gems and her beliefs, which is steeped in the Homeworld ideology that the Diamond rulers are superior while everyone else is lesser and insignificant. They are "pebbles" as she terms them at one point. She later learns her way out of these destructive thoughts, beginning to love the Earth, and everything on it. What she collects and records changes as a result.

The basement archives in The Ghost and Molly McGee, Phineas and Ferb, The Regular Show, and Stretch Armstrong all have collections which have their own organizational systems, even it is portrayed as haphazard at times. These systems are clearly not neutral and are arranged in such a way that it reflects the biases, beliefs, and actions of those who organized them, and the rules governing those arrangements.

Of these series, Stretch Armstrong features an archivist. He is named Grandpa Park, a Korean-American man who is the grandfather of one of the protagonists, Nathan Park. He is a former reporter who is wise and knows the secret identities of the protagonists. The stacks of basement newspaper archive is organized by whether something is "local" or "worldwide." It was one of the earliest posts on this blog and I remember being so excited to watch it, as it featured an archivist, unlike anything I had seen up to that point. There is no doubt that his experience as a reporter affects how the archive is organized, along with his personal biases, although he is not hemmed in by institutional rules, as this archive is all his own.

Different media formats, as presented by Archie, in the season 4, episode 30 episode of Regular Show, entitled "The Requirements to Waken the G.O.O.F."

Like Stretch Armstrong, The Regular Show also features an archivist, named Archie the Archivist. He is also known as Archie and works in the library. Other than the fact he is a Laserdisc Guardian who defends the protagonists from those who want VHS to be dominant, very little about him is known. He only appears in two episodes, "The Last Laserdisc Player" and "Format Wars II," and never again after that point. Even so, it is clear what he is doing is not neutral. Rather, he is a keeper of data from "bad" people as he is taking sides in a conflict.

I could go through many other shows that I have watched since 2020 with archives and archivists. Even so, I feel that this post is a good starting point to this topic, and one that can, hopefully, built upon in the future in ways that discuss this in depth.

Update: As I half-expected, people on /r/archivists were annoyed by this post. One cranky archivist declared "any article that uses Attack of the Clones as evidence of anything in the real world is not well." Another said it "seems like a bad faith post" because "a lot of people get that information and organizational systems are products of people and have biases but this is not the argument that is being made," adding the "blog post barely touches on real archiving before it focuses almost entirely on fictional archives in pop culture." Its almost like these people don't understand what this blog is about, jeez. I'm really just waiting until I get banned from /r/archivists, as I think it is coming. We'll see what happens. In response to this, Sam Cross told me "This is why I stay away from Reddit most of the time" and I can agree with that.
