In Sept., Librarians from across the U.S. gathered in Albuquerque at the Association for Rural & Small Libraries Conference to learn web archiving, oral histories, community scanning, & strategies to capture local news, blogs, & digital history before it’s lost.

Before TikTok, before Instagram, there was MySpace: the internet’s hub for music, culture, & eye-frying HTML. Tom was everyone’s default friend, Lady Gaga was building her buzz, Patton Oswalt was plugging gigs, & even the White House joined, but was late to the party. MySpace is mostly gone now, but the Wayback Machine keeps it alive. 🕰️ Use the #WaybackMachine to visit the space that was MySpace. hxttps://web.archive.org/web/19960901000000*/https://myspace.com #Wayback1T
