Email is Where Knowledge Goes to Die–Or is it?

Another interesting post from Library of Congress's The Signal blog about e-mail messages.

"And yet. Email is a fantastic resource for documenting and remembering.": Based on what many of my participants said -- regardless complex mixed feelings toward e-mails addressed during interviews -- , I think so too.

"email “as one of the most interesting types of historical record being created in our times,”": Indeed.
