What will history say about this crazy period of the coronavirus? That depends on how our lives, our thoughts and our experiences are being documented right now. Archives, like the ones at the Huntington Library and the Center for Oral and Public History at Cal State Fullerton, tell us a lot about what transpired in the past. Not just what our leaders did, or what made the papers, but also about the day-to-day lives of regular folks. Our guest is Liz Ramirez, a librarian and archivist for Los Angeles Communities and Cultures at the UCLA Library Special Collections.
