The California State Archives - W 1/15/25 - Sacramento CA - a RealisticVirtualEarthForLibraries from here? AND virtual Harbin Hot Springs' archival resources ?
Dear Andrew Hyslop, reference librarians', Alex, and Jess at the front desk of the state of California's archives in Sacramento.
Greetings! Thanks, Alex, for saying that Andrew is now the acting director of The California State Archives!

Thank you for your help yesterday W 1/15/25 and regarding questions about both 1) free MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS's seeking to create world class university research libraries and for Californians especially and in a #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForLibraries. Regarding a #

ies, think Google Street View with time slider, GMaps and GEarth with TensorFlowAI informed by the The California State Archives' resources as big data, - and to which we could also add evidence, documentation and similar as individuals (a process I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-
graphy -

https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy) and organizations such as Universitie; and 2) how best to grow a parallel #RealisticVirtualHarbin Hot Springs, my ethnographic field site, and for research too, and as part of a realistic virtual earth as STEM field sites, and classrooms too. How best to proceed?

And to get an idea of how Google Street View with time slider works, click on the 3 dates, 2007 (with the vintage fire engine), 2012 (without the fire engine), and 2024 (after the fire, and with a new RV potential to help the Harbin residents at the gate house) here at the Harbin Hot Springs' gate house in Street View, and explore 'walking' down the road '4 miles' to Middletown CA -

a new form of history may emerge from this re a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory too (and see Twitter for #hastags)

Alex, I wasn't able to find any Harbin Hot Springs' reserves while searching in Minerva, or the OAC ...
Thanks, best wishes, more later,

Dear Richard,
Very nice to meet and talk with you at the Sacramento hostel!

Here's the beginning WUaS Music School (planned in all ~200 countries and in their main languages, and with all musical instruments in ALL 7164 known living languages, and extinct ones too
+ a wiki school or subject page )
(and please check out the initial and beginning wiki subjects/ schools below on this page in the PS)

And here are the beginnings of the
Symphony Orchestra at World University and School:
and planning youth symphonies too with real real time music making

Growing a worldwide abolition movement at MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS to protect students and Universitians ... and in seeking to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs and violence etc industries internationally and their latent networks of violence ... and even especially in the classical music industry in all 200 countries ... and in seeking to code for most of all 7.9 billion people on the planet each a Wikidata PIN # from here -

Great to talk with you, Richard, and more later, Good luck with your music teaching in Humboldt area, at Cal Poly Humboldt and at the middle school and high school levels especially
All the best,
