She has a great mind, and > pulled from a lot of rare resources you would only find at the Prelinger > Library. If you mention that you are a member of Sudo Room, she will be > thrilled. ;] > About the Prelinger Library: She and her husband (Rick Prelinger, the film > archivist) founded it. It is insane. They specifically seek rare books and > ephemera (maps, postcards, zines,...), on topics range from utopianism and > anarchism to land management and human geography. They are also on the > light side of the IP/open knowledge debate (they go out of their way to > note that their library is "appropriation-friendly"). > They're very interesting people to meet if you haven't already, and would > be happy to meet you during library open hours, which are Wednesdays 1-8p > at Rm. #215, 301 8th Street, SF.
