I’m not sure we’d WANT to preserve the zeitgeist. Sounds an awful lot like trying to keep a firefly for a pet, or play catch with a soap bubble.

Or maybe it’s just that that’s a job for the archivists and historians. Maybe making history AND writing it all up is too much to ask of one group of bibliobloggers?

Or not. Just pondering. Thanks for providing something to think about…
