byebye physical archives?

it’s been rather silent since the awesome website was released, on which Hana and Dijana were working on. I still think its’s a important matter, for reasons mentioned in a earlier post. Obviously there’s still a lot of work to do and a lot of things to discuss in order to get a decent appearence on the web. There won’t be a workshop this summer and i’d like therefore to give a short overview about the current situation and maybe suggest further moves.

I’d say it was a quite anticipating idea to digitalize the physical archive during the last two years, since, well, it’s gone. correct me if i’m wrong ( and I truly hope i am), but there were only two physical easa-archives: One in Copenhagen, which has been thrown away. And now guess in which faculty building the second was… exactly! does any dutch know anything about it whether it was somewhere else or if it somehow escaped the flames for some reason? And does anyone know if there’s another archive somewhere?

If not, then there’s not much left except for two harddrives (one with pernille in cph and one here in Zürich), which are not at all complete (entire years are missing), but at least they have a decent amount of information, pictures and films.

There’s also some stuff spread all over the world in the shelters of some estimated 10000 easians…

other things that were developed but hardly discussed/agreed on during last easa/INCM/blog are the use or uselessness of a eas-calendar, blog vs. forum (i changed my minde a little bit) and the Logo once again.

Not too many easians join the discussions here on the blog, wherefore i suggest we’ll also talk about it during a nc-meeting in Ireland. If they’re in any way similar to the ones in elefsina (“are there any problems with anything?… not?… some cookies anyone?” ;) ) it should be possible…

cheers!
