Queering Archives: Historical Unravelings (Radical History Review, n.120, Fall 2014)
Issue Editors Daniel Marshall, Kevin P. Murphy, and Zeb Tortorici
This issue of Radical History Review explores how activists, archivists, and scholars— in engaging grassroots and institutional LGBT archiving efforts and questions of digitization, systems of classification, migration and paperwork, criminal records, postcolonialism, performance, photography, museums, and historical methods—have radically opened up the notion of the queer archive. The essays work to identify, and then fracture, the assembly and systematization of archival knowledge regarding sexualities and gender.
