archive anxieties
Now this is, if anything, a cry for help rather than advice. Imagine you go to an archive, and have no idea what to expect. Imagine, then, it is not an archive curated by a historian, but an archive in a corporation, which partly burnt down in the 40s, and is now a collection of […]
