Re: archival experiences



I guess such coincidences aren't as unusual as we might think.

I work with the ONE Institute International Gay & Lesbian Archives here in
Los Angeles.  I recently had occasion to look in the Indiana file and found
a newsletter of the Bloomington Gay Alliance which I had edited and typed
(on a mimeo stencil) 25 years ago when I was in grad school.  I don't think
I have a copy of it myself any more...

I can remember going through one photograph collection (early in my career)
in which my predecessor had marked most of the people as unknown. I was able
to identify them because I had known many of the adults pictured when I was
a child. I even found myself in a grade school picture. Frightening.
