SCAA Meeting

The Annual meeting of Sask Archives and Archivists was at Cut Knife today. People who are dedicated to preserving our written and pictorial heritage. I love the meeting of creative minds and exciting ideas. Nothing boring about archivists.

Quotable Quotes

"... museums blur the line between education and entertainment."
~ Kevin Walker, Story Structures: Building Narrative Trails in Museums.

"There are some people who don't like museums because they think of them as tombs, or something negative. I've always loved them, they are to me lighthouses of utopianism and social well-being."

~ R. B. Kitaj (artist, b 1932)

"Science and Technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response. Expelled from individual consciousness by the rush of change, history finds its revenge by stamping the collective unconscious with habits, values, expectations, dreams. The dialectic between past and future will continue to form our lives."
~ Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. 1986. "The Challenge of Change," in New York Times Magazine. July 27.

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landcapes, but in having new eyes."
~ Marcel Proust
