"the related but separate notion that the archivist should be positioned as an objective curator, passive and neutral, rather than as conscious mediator, activist and subjective" (Millar)--we want politics out of archives, but then want to re-insert them?  Especially as a role of activist.  How is this helpful?

Communities give themselves the chronicles they need in order to understand the world, just as individuals create for themselves the stories they need in order to survive with a sense of self. . . .A nation that does not take into account the multitude of suppressed memories of the majority of its people will always be weak, basing its survival on the exclusion of dissent and otherness. Those whose lives are not valued, not given narrative dignity, cannot really be part of the solution of the abiding problems of our times (Cook, 2011).

The focus of archivists shifted from being centered around archives as ‘truth,’ evidence, authenticity, defending the integrity of the record, to archives as story, as narrative, as part of a societal and governance process of remembering and forgetting, of concern about power and margins(Cook, 2011)

For archival studies scholars and practicing archivists, archives-emphasis on the "s"-are collections of records, material and immaterial, analog and digital (which, from an archival studies perspective, is just another form of the material), the institutions that steward them, the places where they are physically located, and the processes that designated them "archival." (Caswell 2016)
