Alice de Galzain @alicedegalzain.bsky.social · 6m💥 I’m excited to share my Informal Guide to Archival Research📜📚 1/ As a first-time archival researcher, it took me a long time to learn how archives actually work. Not because archivists weren't helpful (they are amazing!!!), but because it involved a skill set that I had never been trained in. 110
