Archivists play an important role in our history. They are the ones who are supposed to gather and keep the information safe and share it with the public. If archivists fail to keep the truth of the history or misplace/overlook a document, it could cause many problems in society. If information is lost or changed history will not be truthful, and you are left wondering again. “Michelle Caswell draws our attention to the phenomenon of “symbolic annihilation‘ in archives, the process by which archivists contribute to the omission or erasure of historically marginalized groups in the archives (Sam Winn).” This is happening right now in the archives. information is being tampered with, and history is not being withheld. Also, archivists have to display/perform history to the public, this means that the history they receive, they have to find a way to reach their audience and share the information in a way that’s going to be heard. ‘If archivists have any hope of contributing to a radically inclusive historical record, we must make a fundamental change (Sam Winn).” Archivists can’t lose sight of the people/society groups, you must have diverse information and be able to relay that to inclusive groups. Archivists are part of history’s foundation. Without archivists, much history would be lost, so their diligence in keeping information, etc, is allowing our history to continue to grow and not get lost over the decades.
