With radical transparency, the bravest archivists at ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2018 share their 5-minute stories of error and explain how dumb luck, desperate exertion, or helpful colleagues played a role in fixing their mistake or enduring its consequences. This session is for anyone who has ever made a mistake. Audience members are invited to share their own, anonymous confessions, which session organizers will read at the end of the session.
