Why We Collect presents thoughtful conversations about the objects we keep—and create. With the help of people who spend an inordinate amount of time managing objects and reflecting on their meanings—from collectors to curators, artists to archivists, and enthusiasts to entrepreneurs—we try to make sense of our messy material world. Why We Collect is co-produced and co-hosted by Katherine Barbera and David Bernabo of Bright Archives, an independent archival production house.

Climate change is reshaping our known world, including our archives. We talk with Eira Tansey, an archivist and researcher who specializes in the impacts of climate change on cultural heritage. She recently published a report with the Council on Library and Information Resources called “A Green New Deal for Archives,” one of the first comprehensive looks at what we need to do to protect our histories. She also founded Memory Rising, which provides research, consulting, and archival services with expertise in climate change, environmental and labor movements, and Ohio Valley regional history. This is the first episode of the Vernacular Archives series on the Bright Archives podcast.
We talk with Eira about the impacts of climate change on archives, how archives can be used to tell stories about climate change, and how labor issues impact the ability of archivists to respond to the effects of our changing environment.
