at a conference I attended recently, a researcher pointed to the difficulty of finding material in archives because so much depends on the metadata and the terminology used to describe things changes over time. "it would be so helpful," the researcher said, "if I typed 'lesbian' into the library of congress database, it would also show me results that were categorised in the 50s, when the materials were interpreted as 'intimate female friendships'"
which is what tag wrangles at Archive Of Our Own do incredibly effectively: searching for "omegaverse" also leads to "alpha/beta/omega dynamics" and "alternate universe: a/b/o" and so on. but ao3 achieves this frankly incredible categorisation and indexing system by the power of countless volunteers putting in hours and hours of unpaid and unthanked free time, and it's completely understandable that most archives do not have that kind of infrastructure, but also how incredible that a fan-run website has better searchability, classification, and accessibility than the library of congress
#no bc why do i have so much trouble finding academic articles in my field even though i know how to refine a search query.....#maybe im not the problem!!!

nothing has made me happier than being bored during quarantine, logging back into tumblr, finding this, and getting my boy giuliano on the first try
this quarantine has allowed me to reach my final form: creating a uquiz to determine “which renaissance florentine “it boy” are you!”. this quiz is based on three things. 1. the one art history course i took, 2. the 50 books i have about leonardo da vinci and friends, 3. the fact i replayed assassin’s creed ii and watched the entirety of i medici twice this quarantine
