Can anyone recommend work by historians on the theme of secrets, especially: secrets the historian encounters intentionally or not, and what they decide to do with them in their scholarship? Any time or place

Y'all go follow Ashton! (I mean, a historian working at a science museum?! Why wouldn't you follow her?)
for those of you who remember me from the other place, i'm the same person, just doing something different. i recently took a job at a SCIENCE MUSEUM working on extreme heat. Yes, it's wild. Yes, this work just got really hard and uncertain. And yes, the dinosaurs do come alive at night.
📢📢📢📢 Applications now open for community science on heat with the Center for Collaborative Heat Monitoring! Share widely and feel free to contact me with any questions!

I'd like to build up a list of people interested in writing. I don't need a pitch or anything, let me know if you might be interested in the future. (we $pay$)
