#0044: Miranda Mims on knowing what to hold + when to let go as a steward of cultural heritage
from Le vital corps Salon
I had the great fortune of meeting this week’s guest, Miranda Mims, at a roundtable discussion hosted by Minda Harts at SXSW. (Yes, SXSW again!). After the roundtable, I organized an impromptu dinner at the Elizabeth Street Cafe, which is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Austin, Texas. As luck would have it, Miranda said yes to joining and really got my brain cooking. I asked her a million questions about what it’s like to be an archivist. I found it fascinating and knew I had to invite her to the podcast.In this episode, we chatted all about what archivists do. Plus, we talk all about how to decide what to keep and what to get rid of - the physical items, a mindset, or even the mental clutter - what we carry around as human beings. I hope this conversation with Miranda frees you up.Turn on your favorite listening device and join me to learn more about knowing “when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em, or when to walk away,” with my guest, Miranda Mims.Selected link love + resources from the episodeConnect with Miranda on social media and on the web: Website (coming soon!) | LinkedInSchomburg Center for ResearchNew York Public LibrarySmithsonian National Museum of African ArtCatholic UniversitySociety of American ArchivistsProject 333 by Courtney CarverSoulful Simplicity, Courtney Carver (book)The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu: And Their Race to Save the World's Most Precious Manuscripts, Joshua Hammer (book)Researchers Discover Dirty Jokes in Anne Frank Diary (article)The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Marie Kondo (book)Steven G.
