Updates to the SFO Museum shoebox

It is now possible to add individual flights and Instagram posts, in addition to collection objects, to your shoebox. The goal is to slowly (and then quickly) add the ability to save any of the “first class actors” involved with the SFO Museum websites to your shoebox: Twitter posts, individual terminals and gates, airlines, aircraft and airports. Anything, really. Flights and Instagram posts are just what we’ve started with and what we’re using to make sure everything works.

That is, after all, the business of museums and libraries and archives.

It fosters a practice of actively requesting backups of our activity on these services, as opposed to relying on a mysterious automated system running in the background. I also like that it mirrors our own practice of building services and functionality, like the Mills Field website, from the same open data that we publish for other people to use.
