ala-archives:usnatarchives:What will send you screaming from the stacks? Find out what ghastly archival object you will encounter on Halloween night!What scary thing will you encounter in the stacks??? Hopefully not rotting rubber bands or worse, a ghoulish cardigan!!!! #okay but a film cannister isn’t going to HAVE red rot #red rot is for leather#specifically if it’s been vegetable-tanned #or certain paints/dyes were used#film canisters could be gross in all kinds of ways depending on if they’re plastic (THE DEVIL’S SUBSTANCE) or metal (corroding/rusting/warpi#*warping) #sorry 2 b boring#also having worked with both ghoulish clothing and rotting rubber bands: GIMME THE GHOULISH CARDIGAN AAAAANYYYY DAY BABY#ANY. FUUUUCKING. DAY.#rubber bands are only slightly. SLIGHTLY. LESS BAD THAN PAPERCLIPS#and this may be distance talking because i literally was dealing with rusted paper clips 45 minutes ago#rubber bands: my second least favorite office supply (via @alyharania) -- source link
