  Archivist's Table Episode 4: Beyond Heroes & Villains

  Aug 17, 20263 minS1

  <p>What do you do when the records hurt? In this deeply honest episode of Archivist’s Table, we confront one of the hardest truths in archival and genealogical work: our ancestors were fully human, and that means refusing to flatten them into either heroes or villains. As I sit with the records of my third-great-grandfather, Gilbert Daigre, Papa OG, the archive reveals two truths that must stand together. He was a father, husband, landowner, and protector. The records also show that he enslaved human beings and sponsored baptisms for enslaved children at St. Joseph’s Cathedral.</p><p><br></p><p...

  <p>Pull up a chair and rest a while. This Friday evening on the porch swing, we are following up on our session about Papa OG to reflect on the habit that drains so much of our daily energy. One of the greatest gifts this project has given me is balancing the objective eye of the archivist with the warm heart of preservation. </p><p><br></p><p>When I stopped trying to defend my ancestors, I finally became quiet enough to hear them.

  Archivist's Table Episode 3: The Advocate's Release

  Aug 10, 20264 minS1

  <p>Do you feel a constant need to defend your family's history? In this working-room session at the Archivist’s Table, we dismantle a heavy emotional habit: trying to act as a lawyer for the past. Sitting with the baptismal, property, and estate records of my third great-grandfather, Gilbert Daigre, our Papa OG, I realized I was treating the documents like a defense brief. But active archiving asks us to step out of the courtroom. While preservation keeps the physical records safe, archiving forces us to remain completely objective and let the documents speak for themselves. </p><p><br></p><p>...

  Porch Swing Series Episode 2A: Preserve Their Voices

  Aug 7, 20262 minS0

  <p>Pull up a blue chair and rest for a moment. This Friday on the porch swing, we are leaning into the beautiful, unwritten pieces of the people we love. Not long ago, while laughing with friends about the little things we still say around our families, a sudden truth struck me: some of the most precious parts of a human life are never written down in the official records.</p><p> </p><p>The census can preserve a name, a photograph can preserve a smile, and a marriage certificate can preserve a date. But the documents can never capture t...

  Archivist's Table Episode 2: The Horizon of Judgement

  Aug 3, 20266 minS0

  <p>What happens when we bring modern judgment into historical spaces? In this working-room session at the Archivist's Table, we confront the hardest boundary you will ever have to build on your journey: Do not let your ending write their beginning. It is so easy to try to force the complex choices of our ancestors into neat, present-day boxes. But the greatest act of love an archivist can offer is to release that judgment completely. You cannot measure the rugged paths they had to walk using the smooth pavement you stand on today.</p><p><br></p><p>When we...
