Order one thing from the city archive
“Asking a librarian for something you can't quite name feels like you'll be found out. They do this all day and they like it.”
The Recipe
- Find the city or municipal archive: the public records room, not a museum.
- Ask the desk how to see something about the street you're staying on, or the year you were born.
- Request one document or photograph and wait for it to come out.
- Handle it, read what you can, and note one thing that surprised you.
