The contributors to Turning Archival trace the rise of "the
archive" as an object of historical desire and study within queer
studies and examine how it fosters historical imagination and
knowledge. Highlighting the growing significance of the archival to
LGBTQ scholarship, politics, and everyday life, they draw upon
accounts of queer archival encounters in institutional, grassroots,
and everyday repositories of historical memory. The contributors
examine such topics as the everyday life of marginalized queer
immigrants in New York City as an archive; secondhand vinyl record
collecting and punk bootlegs; the self-archiving practices of
grassroots lesbians; and the decolonial potential of absences and
gaps in the colonial archives through the life of a suspected
hermaphrodite in colonial Guatemala. Engaging with archives from
Africa to the Americas to the Arctic, this volume illuminates the
allure of the archive, reflects on that which resists archival
capture, and outlines the stakes of queer and trans lives in the
archival turn. Contributors. Anjali Arondekar, Kate Clark, Ann
