I love that quote from p. 8 because it emphasizes the painstaking effort required to locate stories of non-white folks in archives.

What does this say about the ways archives are organized and who they serve? What do you all think of Lim's (and St. John's) methods for locating the stories of marginalized people and of reading against the grain in records where they don't appear as central figures?

@CNMBrandon Additionally I think that it is a testament to these three authors' tenacity to uncover the truth. They certainly have much more patience and an investigative eye for detail that I do not possess.

@arrichavez Absolutely! It takes so much time, energy, and (you guessed it) money, to be able to do the type of research that uncovers the histories that have been hidden.
