Preserving the Future
I had a piece published in Oregon Humanities: Beyond the Margins reflecting on my time as archivist at the Southern Oregon Historical Society during the pandemic and the disastrous fires of September 2020. The piece is called “Preserving the Future: On Navigating Loss and Collecting Histories.” https://www.oregonhumanities.org/rll/beyond-the-margins/preserving-the-future/
