Thank you for an enjoyable first day. Between now and Thursday's class, you will be receiving an invitation to our course weblog, via e-mail. Simply follow the link in the e-mail invitation to get signed on to our blog. Feel free to let me know if you have trouble signing on.
For Thursday, we are reading excerpts from Cooley's novel The Archivist and a brief article by Wendy Sharer on family archives. When we meet, we'll bring them into conversation on the concept of "archive" -- what are the various ways we define, understand, and value this concept; how does each of our readings present the "archive" or the archivist? As a reminder, Cooley's novel moves back and forth in time -- between 1990 and 1965. Of course, you may feel some gaps in the plot line that we can talk through when we meet.
Have a good week until then,
-Professor Graban
