Now that the fascists have taken over, what books, academic studies, and pieces of knowledge should take priority in personal/private archival? I’m thinking about what happened in Nazi Germany, especially with the burning of the Institute for Sexual Science(Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) and what was lost completely in the burnings.
Some of us should consider saving stuff digitally or physically. Redundancies will help preserve stuff.
It seems that the material destroyed at the Institute for Sexual Science is precisely the sort of stuff that the Trump regime wishes to supress. So any LGBT research and information.
Basically anything that the Nazis banned. The list here still seems relevant. Transpose ‘German’ for ‘American’:

All of these types of literature, as described by the Nazis, were to be banned:
I guess books that have been banned in US school libraries over the last few years too.
And finally, any political material that is antithetical to the far right.
