Black Archives Editorial 001: The Impulse to Collect
<p>What drives someone to build an archive? What feeds their impulse to collect? Who will find value in this preserved history?</p> <p>In Black Archives’ first issue, we explore these foundational questions through the I. Henry Phillips collection, Marion Stokes’s story, and personal family reflections from the Black Archives community.</p> <p>We map the points where the personal intersects with the political and uncover how living with a sense of history helps to create legacy. Both a blueprint and a mirror, this issue challenges us to consider how we will tell and preserve our own stories.</p>
