Building Sustainability into Queer Archives
In November 2019, I was invited to speak on behalf of RCMA at the AMIA 2019 Conference (Association of Moving Image Archivists) on a panel entitled “Building Sustainability into Queer Archival Initiatives”. Along with panelists Louisa Trott, who works on the Voices Out Loud Project to preserve East Tennessee’s LGBTQ+ history and culture; and Alexandra Juhasz, who initiated the VHS Archives Working Group at CUNY, my presentation expounded on an archival ethos that considers the video preservation process itself as a form of community building. Special thanks to Claire Fox for organizing this panel.
Featured below are my slides from the presentation. More information about the panel, roundtable discussion notes, and slides from other speakers can be found here on the AMIA website.
