"Queering Archives: Historical Unravelings" is the first of two
themed issues from Radical History Review (numbers 120 and 122)
that explore the ways in which the notion of the "queer archive" is
increasingly crucial for scholars working at the intersection of
history, sexuality, and gender. Efforts to record and preserve
queer experiences determine how scholars account for the past and
provide a framework for understanding contemporary queer life.
Essays in these issues consider historical materials from queer
archives around the world as well as the recent critical practice
of "queering" the archive by looking at historical collections for
queer content (and its absence). This issue explores the evolution
of grassroots LGBT archives, debates over queer migrations,
nationalism and the institutionalization of LGBT memory, the
archiving of transgender activism, digitization and the
classificatory systems of the archive, performances of the colonial
archive, museums as archives, and everyday objects as archivable
texts. Daniel Marshall is Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Arts
and Education at Deakin University, Melbourne. Kevin P. Murphy is
Associate Professor of History at the University of Minnesota and a
member of the Radical History Review editorial collective. Zeb
Tortorici is Assistant Professor of Spanish and Portuguese
Languages and Literatures at New York University. Contributors:
