Faulty Memories

“We can’t reliably distinguish true memories from false memories,” declares psychologist Elizabeth Loftus who studies memory, but in an unconventional way. “I don’t study when people forget,” she says. “I study when people remember things that didn’t happen. I study false memories.” It’s an issue that comes up often in courts, which highly values witness testimony. In a survey of 300 cases of wrongful conviction, where a person was later exonerated of a crime, three-quarters of them had been incarcerated due to faulty human memory.

Cocaine Anonymous Archive Standing Committee

The Archivist’s Serenity Prayer

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the collections I cannot decline… the courage to decline the collections I can… And the resources to process the backlog.”
