Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva, otherwise known as The Kitchen Sisters, were long form audio story tellers well before podcasts even existed. Their new NPR series, “The Keepers,” explores the lives of rogue archivists, activist librarians, and devoted collectors. And we want to hear from you: Who is preserving the cultural objects of your world? Which archives or collections have you learned from or been moved by?
