Today I am reading "The Collective Memory: Archives and Libraries As Heritage" by Hugh A. Taylor.

archivaria.ca/index.php/arch…

"archives have generally been taken for granted as the information environment of traditional heritage, a collective memory to be ransacked by experts" Over the past few months I have really thought a lot about the misconceptions of what archives are. They don't feel like they are for the use of the public and require special knowledge to navigate. Therefor it is worrisome to consider what a huge role they play in memory making.
