This week we highlight some ways personal obsessions become collective culture and then ultimately archives.
Mike discusses The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson, and the journaling project in Britain that captured the stories of everyday Britons during the war. You can access the Mass Observation Project's archives here.
Christina discusses the process of researching art, the beauty of stained glass windows, and The Art of Looking Up by Catherine McCormack.
Jen discusses seeking new ways to think about staging socially distanced events, and Seeing the Better City by Charles R. Wolfe and The Walk Book by Janet Cardiff.
