These are very interesting times in which we're living.  I feel the need to leave a record of this behind for my descendants and maybe you do too. Thankfully my two guests are busy collecting and documenting our experiences in a project for the State of Rhode Island. If you live here you can participate. Anyone of any age can add material to the new RI Covid-19 archive. Pictures, stories and video are all being collected.  Link is in the show notes.  In this episode we talk about the roots of this type of digital archive. There is a term for it–Rapid Response archive and one that saves our lived experiences.  It's not new. There have been other rapid response archives for events that have happened in the last several years.You might have a Covid-19 archive in your area. These digital archives are being built by libraries and archives all over the world.Links:Rhode Island Covid-19 archiveSign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Like the Photo Detective Facebook Page so you get notified of my Facebook Live videos.Need help organizing your photos?

This is the first podcast of a 3-part series I did while at the AMIA (Association of Moving Image Archivists) conference in Portland, OR. My first conversation is with Claire Fox, an absolute joy and fabulous person I got to know this year. I am looking forward to seeing her work in this field (she's already WELL on her way to greatness). Subjects include: graduate student-ing, navigating professional conferences, access, archival labor, finding queer community and emotional connections. Enjoy!
