desperanceFraught with peril, this process. Fraught, I tell you.
I found magazines in the box. And was shuffling through them, thinking "Don't need you, or you, or you, or..." when I came to the monthly Culture mag produced by the local newspaper. And was on the very verge of flinging it into the recycling, when I thought "Hang on a minute. Why would I have kept it even this long? Chances are, there's an interview with me or a review or something. That makes it Archive..."
So I ran my eye down the contents page. And didn't see my name, and was again on the verge of flinging it - when I realised that that cat, the big photograph at the top of the contents page, directing me to p 42? That was Mac, that was...
So, yup. It's an article about my office here, the room I work in. And it's Mac's first appearance in print. That's Archive, that is.
On a related topic: what does one do with the magazines produced over the years by the BSFA and the BFS and so forth? Recycle, or try to find a home for? Can there be anyone interested in years-old publications by interest-societies? Are they Archive, as I have a professional interest in their interests? I dunno. Help me, O Internets...
