Craft of Archiving
An Archivist COllect Herself:
Personal Processing & the Art of Extra-Illustration
Having been involved in an intense, reflective personal processing project since January 2021, I've created this space to share the project. In the coming months, three years' worth of an autoethnographic journey will be highlighted here. For now, I've included a draft bibliography that details the important literature I've consulted in order to process myself! Enjoy and stay tuned for more.

“Out of a few stored bone chips, we remember a dinosaur.”
