#historicalarchives — Public Fediverse posts

Slugger O’Toole: Navigating fraught legacies with trauma-informed archival practice. “The event featured a series of presentations and panel discussions from archivists, journalists, and historians, providing deep insights into how to navigate the fraught legacies of conflict contained within historical records.”

Today I’ve started a series of events that will get new members into https://readcoop.org/ and make some previous historical city archives easier to access and search from several municipalities.

📢NEW BOOK ALERT!

🔖 Dive into the hidden layers of #ColdWar #childhoods with '(An)Archive', ed. by Mnemo ZIN.

🔓Unlock forgotten narratives, reshaping our understanding of #history & hinting at the futures it might have held.

What was it like growing up during the #ColdWar? What can #childhood memories tell us about state socialism and its aftermath? How can these intimate memories complicate history and redefine possible futures? These questions are at the heart of the '(An)Archive'. This edited collection stems from a collaboration between academics and artists who came together to collectively remember their own experiences of growing up on both sides of the ‘#IronCurtain’.

Looking beyond official #historicalarchives, the book gathers #memories that have been erased or forgotten, delegitimized or essentialized, or, at best, reinterpreted nostalgically within the dominant frameworks of the East-West divide.

Twitter is probably dead and I'm more than happy to engage and share knowledge and ideas with my fellow #histodons
I have some very exciting news (that I will announce when the time is right) regarding a new project that I'm a member and is built using theory and methods from
#digitalhistory , #historicalarchives , #historyoftechnology , #historyofscience , #enviromentalhistory , #biology , #computerscience and #DatabaseSystems

I'm so excited and happy!
