From the Archivist's Notebook: Essays Inspired by Archival Research in Athens Greece
“Writing is the only thing that when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.” –Gloria Steinem
My name is Natalia Vogeikoff-Brogan – archivist, archaeologist, historian, wife and mother. These are pages from my notebook.
I studied Classical Archaeology in Greece (University of
Thessaloniki) and the United States (Bryn Mawr College), and have
conducted field work in East Crete for many years. Since 1994, I have
served the American School of Classical Studies at Athens as head of its
archives, from which I draw inspiration for most of my writings in this
blog. Together with Jack L. Davis, I recently co-edited a volume titled
Philhellenism, Philanthropy, or Political Convenience? American Archaeology in Greece, Hesperia 82:1, Princeton 2013. Jack, Vivian Florou, and I have just published another edited volume, titled Carl W. Blegen: Personal and Archaeological Narratives (Atlanta: Lockwood Press 2015). The book is available at: http://www.amazon.com/Carl-W-Blegen-Archaelogical-Narratives/dp/1937040224/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1409506771&sr=1-4&keywords=vogeikoff
“From the Archivist’s Notebook” will appear once a month (on the
1st), occasionally twice (then also on the 15th) if there is a guest
contribution.
Here you will also will find essays contributed by guest authors who
are involved in similar kinds of archival research: viz., the history of
institutions and the role of individual agency in them. These essays
will include their musings on books, articles, and exhibition catalogs
relevant to their research interests. Until now, guest bloggers Jack
Davis, Jacquelyn Clements, Liz Ward Papageorgiou, Vivian Florou, and
Curtis Runnels have written on a variety of themes (see Authors).
Finally, opinions in From the Archivist’s Notebook are those
of the authors. Comments are moderated, but publication of a comment
does not indicate an endorsement of the opinions expressed.
