Let's just start with this, ‘archivalist’ is not a real word, or title. I am a professional photographer, with copious amounts of hours put into digitizing my grandfather's personal photography collection. From the knowledge gained I hope to share with others how to explore their own collection. The term 'archivalist'? I also called the Pacific Ocean the Specific Ocean until I was eight. I use the word ‘defenestrate’ 837% more than the average person. I have a penchant for odd words and an unfortunate habit of mispronouncing things.
I am a person who never used her Health Sciences degree, became a wedding photographer, who finds dry articles about colour space fascinating. So became, The Family Archivalist.
It started as a passion project that led to family discovery and a way to heal through loss and dementia.
