I clearly do not go to the right auctions...

The fine folks at Fine Books called my attention to a rather amazing bit of video. Apparently, at an auction of Irish historical material at Adam's, protesters disrupted the proceedings claiming that the material belonged in institutions. While the private/public ownership of documents of historical merit is an interesting (and long running) issue, I must admit my first reaction was just being pleased to see young people "engaged" enough to A) be thinking about the "loss" of cultural history and B) knowing what/where the auction house was (ok, just a little sarcastic). Well worth a watch.
