Show Notes

Today, I have an interview for you with George Miles, curator of the Western American Collection at the Beinecke Library at Yale. We spend a lot of time talking with and about the work of historians, but ungirding that work is the work of librarians and archivists who diligently assemble collections that scholars can draw on to original research. Miles has a wealth of knowledge to share about the historiography of the west, the relationship between photography and the creation of the myth of the west, curating archives to be more inclusive, and much more.
