Happy Holidays from DARC

Posted by Leanne Fan on December 6, 2022 at 1:21 pm

Hi DARC community!

Hope everyone is doing well during this busy time of year! We will not be having our scheduled DARC meeting tomorrow but wanted to share this provocative essay shared by DARC member, Joanna, at our last meeting: https://www.historians.org/research-and-publications/perspectives-on-history/january-2021/please-stop-calling-things-archives-an-archivists-plea

We will be regrouping our DARC community next semester so stay tuned and have a lovely end of the semester and holiday season : )

Thank you!!

Leanne and Silvia

  Hi Leanne and all,
  
  This is an excellent article. I’m an archivist on the faculty at Baruch, and while I haven’t regularly engaged with the DARC group, if you are interested, I’d love to have some sort of engagement/discussion around this and related topics some time in the new year. I’ve often thought it would be valuable for the archives community at CUNY and the DARC group to have a stronger connection!

  I agree, Jessica. The DARC initiative is composed of great folks and lively discussions.
