Jana Lipman did a lot of work there for her second book, so she’s probably a good person as well. I imagine Peter would have other recommendations too!

Julia Irwin @juliairwin.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

…. and to reach out to the team there to see if there is anything they think we could do to support them and the archives. I’m sure they’ve been thinking about this for a while now and have probably grappled with a lot of the questions already.

Julia Irwin @juliairwin.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

I haven’t done research there before, so I don’t think I know the ins and outs well enough to say with any expertise. But my sense is that it would probably take a pretty significant amount of money. It may be useful to try to assemble a group of historians who have worked there in the past… /1

Julia Irwin @juliairwin.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

I know, it’s so tragic. I was hoping to do research there this summer and my conversations with the archivists were just so gutting. The archivists are trying to do so much too, despite all the massive financial challenges. But if you have ideas, happy to chat!

Julia Irwin @juliairwin.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Best of luck!! Here's hoping it's as mild as possible. I'm a historian of humanitarian aid, though my grad training was in history of medicine. My second book focused on US international disaster aid in the 20th c, and through that I became interested in the 7th Cholera Pandemic (the new research).
