The Dark Years

1939. The archives must be saved. Not at the expense of the people they can help others find. As war approaches, Jeanne Valin and the heirs to the Collection must move boxes whose weight, restrictions, and gaps they know well. The papers have not changed. The danger they pose has. A name preserved for understanding can now expose someone.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR JOURNEY

Something
remained.

You followed a presence, crossed a place, looked at an object. The stories kept their place. Your visit left another trace.

“A life remembered.
A present we choose.”
