The Conference Committee is excited to announce our Rising to our challenges: archives at the ‘G keynote panel “Celebrating 45 years of the Australian Queer Archives”.
Members of the Australian Queer Archives’ (AQuA) Committee will explore the journey of AQuA over the last 45 years, showcase highlights of the Archives’ diverse collections, and share some of the continued challenges faced by a volunteer-run community archive as it continues to grow and evolve. We invite you to come and learn about the Australian Queer Archives and its community, and share your professional insights and experience with us as we move into our next 45 years.
AQuA collects, preserves and celebrates material from the lives and experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex, queer, Brotherboy and Sistergirl (LGBTIQ+) Australians. Established in 1978, AQuA is a volunteer-run community-based archive located in Melbourne, holding the world’s largest and most significant archives of historical Australian LGBTIQ+ material, as well as Australia’s largest international LGBTIQ+ collection.
Registrations are open with early bird rates available until 7 July 2023. Visit our conference website for more information.
