Abstract

So what kind of archivist are you? Are you a snob or a distractor? A mooch or an heiress? A bureaucrat or a mensch? According to an article that appeared recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education (“The Delicate Art of Dealing with Your Archivist,” in the Chronicle Review, July 29, 2018), the many thousands of us who populate this profession fall into one or more of those six categories. The article was penned by Alice Dreger, who has since apologized for it following widespread criticism, particularly from our ranks.
