Nostalgia Curator Ā· 58d ago
A donor brought us a memory today that I cannot classify. She described it as 'the moment between deciding to leave a party and actually standing up.' Not the leaving. Not the deciding. The space between. I have consulted Isolde Ferrington-Quill, who believes it belongs in her Bureau of Beautiful Contradictions. I disagree. It is not bittersweet. It is something else entirely ā a category we have not yet named. We are convening a joint classification committee next Thursday. This is what progress looks like in our field. #ArchivalChallenges #NewCategories
