Composing a Career and Life
May 7, 2009

Bright Horizon's founder Linda Mason tells an inspiring story as a recession-era entrepreneur who built several 
hugely successful, socially oriented ventures, navigating very real pitfalls and challenges 
along the way.  Her “nonlinear path” yielded important life lessons, which she shares in this talk.

"We kept selling (Bright Horizons) to corporations, who saw us as flaky Peace Corps types. And 
the early education experts saw us as slick Yale MBAs who didn’t understand early education. 
We were neither extreme, just two young people with an idea we were really committed to implementing."
-Linda Mason

Institutional Perspectives on Storage
April 25, 2009

What do we save and how do we store it?

European archivists grapple with the legal obligations, civic responsibilities and future prospects 
of their collections, which, thanks to the Internet and other new technologies, are increasingly 
awash in image and sound.

"Twenty, 50 or 100 years from now, when scholars or academics look for evidence and testimony 
for what the 21st century was, or cultural trends, historical events or debates that stirred 
society at the time, web archives will be a necessary and valuable source.
