<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#606060"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#606060">Millar makes the case that records, archives, data, and other sources of documentary proof are crucial in fostering a society that is respectful, inclusive, democratic, and self-aware. Events in the past year
alone—such as the COVID-19 pandemic, protests driven by the Black Lives Matter movement, and the January 6 insurrection on the US Capitol—illustrate the urgent need for authentic and accessible sources of evidence, from medical statistics to live videos to
Twitter messages and Facebook posts. A truer, more inclusive documentary record demands new strategies and different approaches. Join colleagues to consider why archives matter today, and how we can—and must—convince the world of their value!
