We’re half way through our current book, so it’s time to think about the next one. I’m not sure how many people are still following along, but for the hardy few, here are your options:
Ann Laura Stoler, Along the Archival Grain: Epistemic Anxieties and Colonial Common Sense
Francis X. Blouin Jr. and William G. Rosenberg, Processing the Past: Contesting Authority in History and the Archives
Peter Wosh (ed.), Waldo Gifford Leland and the Origins of the American Archival Profession
I think after this next one we’ll pick something light for summer, like a Brad Meltzer. But for now, please vote for which serious book you’d like to read next.
Archivists Reading Together 
Looking forward to this. Just became aware of this reading group after taking on a large archive project.
I voted for Stoler, but I’d also love to read Blouin & Rosenberg.
I was torn between Stoler and Blouin & Rosenberg; voted for SToler but would be happy with either. I’ve got no objection to Wosh apart from the logistical one that it will not be easy to get if it is checked out of the Uni library. Sorry to have missed the last session, but I was caught within the gravitational pull of the work black hole …
See the latest post about the schedule. We’ll get around to Stoler, no fear!
