[Libs-Or] Who gets to be Remembered? Tracy Drake leads archivists to democratize memory....

[Max Macias]

repositories of knowledge relevant and esoteric, they were inundated with
important dates, names, and figures from Reed’s past. But the Eric V.
Hauser Memorial Library wouldn’t deliver what Drake and Queen were seeking:

like Reed record and construct their histories? What material makes the
cut? Will our experiences as individuals passing through these institutions
be included? "
