Ready to join in on the fun?
Topic: How The ArQuives is preserving queer history online
What is a queer archive (and what is an archive, for that matter), why are they important, and how do they preserve history? Join Natasha Fisher, Digital Archivist at The ArQuives (Canada's 2SLGBTQIA+ Archives), for an accessible introduction to queer and digital archives. We will discuss how digital preservation helps future-proof digital materials for long-term preservation and access. LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram.
