| Summary: | This guide offers an exploration into the definition and function of queer archives, looking particularly at the importance of centring queer women's experience within them. It seeks to understand the historical absences of queer women, which have manifested into a failure of mainstream archives to recognise the experiences and histories of queer women. It simultaneously reflects on the limits of queer archives and the nuanced relationship between queer identities and "the archive" and-particularly for queer women further marginalised by class, disability, race, or ethnicity-how to understand this complex relationship. This guide also understands the need to rethink and reorient what is considered and especially how social media can be used as a means of queer archiving-giving credit to new forms of digital identity and representing how archives can be ever-evolving and accessed. Lastly, it reflects on what queer archiving can mean for those who identify as queer in the present and future and why everyday forms of living can be both revealed and often inspired by queer archives. |
