Macro Archives, Micro States
Abstract
Records of concern to one people often end up in archives controlled by another group of people. Many different events generate these cases of contestedcustody. In “Macro Archives, Micro States,” the author suggests a typology of such cases, links the cases to nationalist emphases, and discusses some current efforts to ameliorate the tensions these contested archives can cause.
