This event considers the challenges and opportunities involved in working with archives today.
Event Details
This two-day event considers the challenges and opportunities involved in working with archives today. Giving particular attention to archival sources created before 1750, sessions will consider some of the questions, caveats, potentials and possibilities that exist at this present moment that include but are not limited to: How is automation changing our view of the ways in which archives are created, remediated and made available? Where do the boundaries of the archive lie? How does the archive interface with other memory institutions such as libraries and museums? As new audiences for archives are developed, do they in turn change the wider social role of the archive? Is the archive shaped as much by the institutions that create it? How do we narrate the stories and the silences of the archive? How are truths and fictions constructed from the archive?
