The majority of archival material out there has NOT been digitized.
So if you really want to figure something out, odds are that you have to go to an archive and dig.
Historians are trained to dig.

Seems like it's worth posting this one again.
Why Do Historians Still Have To Go To Archives?

Putting this here to check same at later date. Most likely will go 🔽. “As of its 2025 media kit, Teen Vogue had an audience of 17 million social followers and 5.1 million average monthly digital unique visitors. “
I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
