Take a peek inside!
What does it mean to be a curator in the archives and special collections field today?
In this provocative collection of case studies, conversations, personal reflections, and research findings, co-editors Jillian Cuellar and Agnieszka Czeblakow invite readers to consider curatorial practice from radical new perspectives. The book’s contributors explore the histories and foundations of traditional curatorial approaches, examining how prestige, power, and institutions influence collecting strategies. They propose new understandings of curatorial work as inherently relational and rooted in care, offering concrete examples from a variety of vantage points.
Written for a broad audience, this book is essential reading for cultural memory workers who wish to embrace a new, more generous model of curatorial practice.
