9. “For the transparency of its preservation, its security
and its stability, it is necessary that the record pass the
archival threshold, the space beyond which no
alteration or permutation is possible and where every
written act can be treated as evidence and memory.”
Luciana Duranti,“Archives as a Place.”

31. “We have everywhere an absence of memory.
Architects sometimes talk of building with context and
continuity in mind, religious leaders call it tradition,
social workers say it is a sense of community, but it is
memory we have banished…”
-Howard Mansfield, In the Memory House
