- Abstract:
- Wielded uncritically, the term ‘archival silences’ says more about our inability (or unwillingness) to see beyond the written text, than about the presence of silences in archives. This essay discusses the concept of archival silences as a starting point for archivists to help our users engage critically and generatively with our collections.
