Using a mixture of personal experience and frameworks presented by Caswell and Cifor (2016), this essay explores the tangible ways that archival spaces can and should account for the affective responses of their user groups. Drawing on a case study at Algoma University, care work is demonstrated to be an imperative element for just, engaged, and enriched archival service.
