An Afghan museum, that buried its artifacts after Taliban takeover, is reborn online The Afghanistan Memory Home Museum shares details and belongings from those who've died in conflict. It shut its doors when the Taliban took power, buried much of its collection — but has now reemerged.

Artifacts and documents were buried, hidden, or smuggled out of the country in the name of 'symbolic justice.' This is the work we do. 📜📚

As my final project for one of my classes, I'm writing a paper about how machine learning, generative AI, and robotics will improve the library experience overall for both workers and patrons. It's still early, but I've never been so excited to write a paper!

The Khmer Rouge controversy: Why colourising old photos is always a falsification of history Matt Loughrey has falsely doctored photos from 1970s Cambodia – but all colourisation does that
