Disconnection and Accessibility in the Archive

Welcome to Counter Narratives in Practice, a series of podcasts about multicultural heritage collections, storytelling, and representation in Libraries, Archives, Special Collections, Museums, and beyond. This podcast is part of a larger project to highlight the work of the Andrew W. Mellon Fellows for Diversity, Inclusion &amp; Cultural Heritage based at Rare Book School. Fellows worked together from across the U.S. to tell stories about the archival materials in their collections and how they prompt thinking about counter narratives in their professional practice.
