Memes are one of those things I'd always see online, but I never thought about archiving...until one day I did. Can't remember when I started to archive them, maybe 5 years ago. But once I started to collect them, I went back in time to find earlier ones to make up for lost time. I notice today the memes collection hit 20,971 files. Plus, I have close to 2,000 GIF files I keep separately from the memes. In the beginning I just mixed memes and GIF together. Memes take a lot of time to fool with. In the beginning I would just save any I ran across. But as I got more serious about archiving them, I spent time searching out memes.

Some of the collection are just photos that are used as memes...no text needed to get a message across.

Lots of creativity out there...

Memes are a good record or daily of life at the time they are made. They emanate from the Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Popular Culture Archive.

I used to be on Reddit, but they banned me. One of the subreddits was for archivists. A person on the forum asked if anyone collected memes. A professional archivist said that archivists usually look after collections decades after they are made...by someone else. In other words, they are hired to 'caretake' and not create. I guess it is the curator's job to create a collection, as well as caretake. No one in the group seemed to collect memes other than me.

Vast majority of the meme collection are of a political nature. Since they don't like politics here, I have posted non-political memes. But probably 99.5% of the collection are political memes. I guess it is better that the political parties battle with memes instead of guns.
