Cutting edge history, that’s what we like: the tools of tomorrow to access the stories of yesteryear.

As you’ve probably noticed from the sidebar, Keepa is now on Twitter, set up to display the five most recent tweets. (I’m so stinkin’ proud of myself, figuring out how to put that display in the sidebar and make it match without destroying J.’s template.) You can also follow Keepa by signing up through the link provided.

I expect to use it to drop names and make the life of an archives rat sound exotic and wonderful. (It is glamorous, you know; I just need to make it sound as good as it is.) Maybe there will be some mini-stories, too, odd tidbits I run across in research that can be told in 140 characters. You never know. Stay tuned. Sign up.
