“Everyone today has a story; the world's an archive.”

—Anne Rice, The Wolf Gift

WriteGirl is more than just an organization—it is a support system, a space that inspires, and a community that fosters creativity in young women through writing. As part of a year-long Revealing Women in the Archives initiative at the Autry, which includes the What’s Her Story: Women in the Archives exhibition, the Autry partnered with nine WriteGirl participants through a Discovery Fellows workshop series. During the workshops, the participants learned how to archive materials, engaged with museum professionals, and documented the experience through writing exercises. This zine is the outcome of those collaborations. It reflects their voices, these contemporary times, and the power of documenting. This zine is a playful archive of a series of workshops with WriteGirl and the Autry. They started Jan. 25, 2020, and then were rudely interrupted by a global pandemic.

The In-between Time

Field Assignment TEDxTalk: Dominique Luster, the Charles “Teenie” Harris Archivist at the Carnegie Museum of Art

լ How would you answer Dominique’s opening question? լ Do you agree with Dominique’s definition of history? լ Why or why not?

լ What is a reflective and inclusive history? լ What is the big take-away, or main message, of this TEDx talk?

“History is not just everything now backwards, right? That is something that we call the past, and history is also not just a catalog of events put into the right order. History is, in fact, a series of strategically curated decisions, right? Decisions that have the ability to either uplift some or silence others. And those choices, those decisions are made by people like myself, people like archivists, librarians, scholars, researchers. But regardless, they are still decisions and herein lies the impact, the power of bias and privilege. With the ability to create entire silenced land- scapes of people groups entirely based on the decision of either being included or excluded from history making. So what ends up happening is that we implicitly trust the evidence that we find in an archive, right? We see letters or photographs in these archives as the closest thing to actually being there.” —Dominique Luster TEDx Talk w/ Dominique Luster, the Charles “Teenie” Harris Archivist at the Carnegie Museum of Art

“A reflective and inclusive history is one that shares and examines the full picture, and is critical of accounts that only share one side of the story.” —Chloe

19

The In-between Time

Field Assignment (cont.)

“The stories we know about others is based on those who tell them, and if historians and archivists do not advo- cate to tell certain stories we may never [be] able to reflect on them.” —Sofia

“People pick and choose what they want shown because in some cases it can affect how others see them, and if it’s negative, they might be seen poorly. So people cover up and shape stories in their favor, making it unjust and untrue.” —Amayah

“If record-keepers and archivists don’t preserve materials related to underrepresented groups, then historians don’t use them as evidence in academic studies, and their stories don’t end up translating into educational curricula.” —Emily

20

“History has bias and so does archival work; there is intense power in decid- ing what is important in an archive and what needs to be saved.” —Nova

“Archivists have the responsibility to uphold inclusivity in their archives to present a full picture of history and culture.” —Jenny

“…archives [are] a way to bring back power to the excluded communities so history will be enriched and diversified instead of learning the same strategic decisions of the past.” —Danielle

“The decisions of a few, the decisions of anyone in positions of power over information are vital to the future because they carry with them the possibility of erasing a person, per- spective, and story from the minds of others.” —Cora

❦ Letter to your researcher/future self. ❦ How/where would they find your archives?

“Hi future researcher! I love that I am in the future, in some weird, funky way. The page from my journal you’ve found is not a reflection of what I would consider my “best” work. How- ever, I think it showcases my creativity in a way that’s pretty special. I hope you can find some beauty in my scrib- bles and glued in receipts (even though I think those might make my journal a little annoying to work with.” —Chloe

30

“Dear Researcher, This page represents a diary entry from April 1, 2020, about a month after the spread of COVID-19 had become popular knowledge in the United States.” —Emily

31

The In-between time #2

Field Assignments (cont.)

“When you look at my scrapbook I hope you can takeaway that creativity isn’t fluid but there are many visual and meta- phorical disruptions.” —Jenny

“Dear whomever it concerns, If you have found this letter that means my collection has become of some importance.... I can simply say that this collection has started at a time of chaos and my brain has followed suit.” —Nova

32

Although my time with the Discovery Fellowship was a little bit different than anticipated, I still earned an irreplaceable experience that I will be able to take with me moving forward in life. Prior to getting to work with everyone at The Autry, I saw archives just like many others do: dusty, “old” objects that represent a part of life so different than mine. Now, I perceive the concept of archives differently, as I can acknowledge that they aren’t just old and dusty, but an accumulation of everything that makes up my life and my future history. Moving forward in the professional world, I can already see myself analyzing my work differently. As an aspiring broadcast journalist and writer, knowing how to be a good archivist will help me be able to get more out of my stories. Even recently, when I interview people, I find myself analyzing the person beyond their verbal answers, finding a story within the stuff that makes up the individual. With these skills and archival tools, I know I will be able to advance forward as a storyteller.

“I would want these journal pages to be archived by feeling because I think it would be interesting to see the various ways I expressed emotions and responded to them at differ- ent stages. I am a young girl growing up in the 2000’s, and my viewpoints may give some perspective into this world.” —Sofia

Languages I spent the first 14 years of my life in Cleveland, Ohio until my family moved to the very snowy mountains of Colorado. I now live in a converted horse barn, a special place that I was able to design entirely around my lifestyle. It’s where I shot my first cookb ok, and where I spend my days experimenting with new recipes, photographing y creations, feeding my family, and making one giant mess in the process. My hope is to inspire a love for food in others, as ell as the courage to try something new!
