DESCRIPTION:On Record: Telling the Stories in Our Voices is a lecture that examines the long aftermath of war through the lens of Operation Babylift (1975) and its ongoing archival consequences. Beginning with the evacuation of children during the final days of the Vietnam War—including the C-5A Galaxy plane crash—the lecture traces how refugee lives are shaped not only by survival, but by the records created in moments of crisis.\nDrawing from the speaker’s work developing the Operation Babylift Collection, the lecture explores how incomplete, rushed, or sealed documentation becomes the foundation for identity, belonging, and safety decades later. Rather than presenting a comprehensive war history, the lecture focuses on the aftermath: what happens when refugees must reconstruct their lives from fragmented archives, and what ethical responsibilities arise when those records still affect living people.\nUltimately, On Record invites audiences to reconsider how history is held, who is protected in its telling, and what it means to steward fragile human stories responsibly.
