Daniel Carkner🥀Not sure what else to say, I wish I had photographed more of the news clippings and commentary. There's some other stuff like he endowed some kind of funds for the Radomysler Benevolent Society giving all kinds of opportunities for members which were quite atypical for those usually modest mutual aid societies.I feel like he would make such an interesting topic for a book of intellectual history or a thesis sometime. A 19th century Jewish "self made man" view of the cold war era😲 <a href="https://historians.social/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archives</a>

Daniel Carkner🥀some of these manuscripts had day by day explanations of how it was trying to travel around in the USSR as a "tourist" an how to engage respectfully and realistically with people: leaving aside your preconceptions, be realistic about how much people can interact with you under that system, don't lord things over people, understand how and where you can get around without causing problems for yourself, etc.<a href="https://historians.social/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archives</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/USSR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USSR</a>

Daniel Carkner🥀even more interesting to me were a dozen or so typewritten travel diaries for trips he took to the USSR in the 1950s and 1960s. he wasn't the usual cold warrior, but had a fairly idiosyncratic view of things, apparently sympathetic and pragmatic about the realities of life in the USSR and Cuba and thinking Americans were getting it wrong, while still being a wealthy capitalist & somewhat conservative.<a href="https://historians.social/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archives</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/USSR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USSR</a>

Daniel Carkner🥀Some of his later oeuvres were like this. Immense bound, self-published books with alternating newspaper clippings from the US press of the time, with typewritten opinion essays and commentary mixed in. Kind of like blogging before blogging existed. I don't know who was reading them but mixed in were his letters to Kennedy era political figures so I don't think he was shy about it.<a href="https://historians.social/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archives</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/SelfPublished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SelfPublished</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/eccentrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eccentrics</a>

Daniel Carkner🥀One of the many fascinating things I came across while doing research at <a href="https://historians.social/tags/YIVO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YIVO</a> were all kinds of manuscripts and self-published hardcover books of this wealthy Florida intellectual Samuel Kipnis, who was active in the Radomysler Benevolent Society in New York. Boxes of them were together with more mundane meeting minutes and anniversary journals of that immigrant mutual aid society.<a href="https://historians.social/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archives</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/JewishHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JewishHistory</a>

penworksWhen you hear someone say that "AI is the future of search" as if it is a great thing, and a foregone conclusion, what they are actually saying is that the doors to any individual blog or website or resources are closing. The digital waypaths to finding sourced content directly are being shuttered and boarded up. That human search via multiple methods utilising various recommender systems is being removed. In favour of a single gateway to pre delivered materials all owned by private monopoly companies.
