A record is the tangible residue of an action. An archive is an integrated congregation of the evidence of interrelated actions.
Today, I am encouraged by the growing number of archivists who are exploring new ways of interrogating archives, searching for meaning and value, deliberating about justice, and focusing on the human relational attributes of archival work.
Over three decades ago, my first supervisor, John Grabowski, framed this as “coming home to the why of our profession from a sometimes obsessive sojourn with the how?”
Here's something like an extra video episode: Geof Huth and Karen Jamison Trivette discuss Geof's book "The Anarchivist: History, Memory, and Archives," published by AC Books, in which we also discuss archives, and Geof's personal para-archival projects.
