Question for #archivists, #librarians, #historians, #glam, #culturalHeritage professionals, #oralHistorians and related history/memory-oriented folks out here in the fedi:

Do you use the term “memory worker”? If so, what does this mean to you?

I’ve been using it (and hearing it) as a useful generalized term to include all folks who work in history/memory fields

Really curious if it’s widely used and if so, with which groups, and if there are any meanings I might be missing

Thanks! 💜💜💜💜

Do you love #podcasts? Are you curious what my voice sounds like from within a mattress fort (yes, really!)? Well, what a lucky day!

🔔🔔I am super excited to say that the first episode of “What is Solidarity History?” is now live!

From @SolidarityHistory, this project is an attempt to learn from #journalists, #oralHistorians, #communityHistorians, and #archivists, and to develop a definition of solidarity history grounded in experience and practice. 🔔🔔
