What is the archivist’s role?
Should everything be saved?
Who decides what gets saved?
What opportunities exists to expand archival collection?
What archival collecting policies are in place? Should they
change?
What are the best practices?

Why save?
“While the collective
memory endures and
draws strength from its
base in a coherent body of
people it is individuals as
group members who
remember”
-Maurice Halbwachs (1951)
