Critical Archives Reading Group

Many members of our community are thinking about the topic of critical archives.

In view of this, we created an Critical Archives Reading Group in 2024-25 as part of Monumental Archives, a larger collaborative project.

Participants read and discuss key classic and new texts from a variety of disciplinary and professional perspectives on the making, unmaking, challenges and potential in "archives." Readings for the fall semester and meeting dates for the spring are listed below. All articles will be available in a shared folder by mid-summer; for access to the folder and ongoing email updates, you'll need to sign up using the google form below. We started a collaborative bibliography and will continue to populate it with this group throughout the year.
