Archival Haiku

More than 50 haiku written by archivists about the profession are captured in this clever collection. Haiku—a Japanese poetry form using five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables—was a featured segment in the “Archives After Hours: The Light, Literary, and Lascivious Side of Archives” session at “Sustainable Archives: AUSTIN 2009,” the Joint Annual Meeting of the Society of American Archivists and the Council of State Archivists in Austin, Texas, in August 2009.
