@evansmithhist@mastodon.social#histodons and #archivists - I am trying to find an online article/opinion piece that was widely shared on social media either late last year or earlier this year. It was, iirc, on the problems of digitising and accessing colonial archives. I think it was written by an Indian scholar.
