Off to #Grimsby in the morning for Study day on Burne-Jones & Morris. Excited about @Tate’s exhibition of course. But always like to remember Jane Burden Morris who outlived them all. (She died Jan 1914, & was drawn by Evelyn de Morgan in later life) pic.twitter.com/YM0m…

Attempts to distinguish genre 'cleanly' - newspapers from periodicals, literature from journalism - are doomed says @printjournalism The model has to be a continuum. @RS4VP @BirkbeckC19

The date-stamped of-their-timeness of local papers, and their place-stamped titles (e.g. Leigh Journal, Kendal Mercury) made them ideal items to commemorate a time and a place. You can do things with a local paper you can’t do with anything else.

Here’s another, buried under Baltimore’s Washington Monument in 1815, again containing local papers. whatweekly.com/2015/… @walters_museum pic.twitter.com/iXW1…

But local papers that survived eventually increased in value with time – look at some of the prices on eBay. Putting them in a bottle and ceremonially burying them guaranteed that they would go from low value to high value, without passing through Thompson's ‘rubbish’ phase.

According to Michael Thompson’s ‘rubbish theory’, ephemerality or transience is rarely ‘natural’, usually socially constructed to benefit those with economic power. Most copies of a newspaper went from low-value to no value, treated as rubbish within a few days of being printed.

This one from 1901 was dug up last year, contained local paper the Leigh Journal @leighjournal. These buried newspapers were simultaneously ephemeral and permanent, valuable because they were of their time, yet intended to survive far beyond that time. leighjournal.co.uk/n… pic.twitter.com/OCxA…
