Millennials don’t want team-building exercises. We want to finish our work and be left alone. 😂

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you do not need a graduate degree to be considered an archivist. Because what do you think people were doing stateside prior to 1981 and in Europe before 1821? Archives existed long before credentialing did. Don’t gatekeep. Xoxo
