Presentation Type
The papers in session 18 address silences in archives, there either because the records were never created, they were lost or destroyed, or they were created ‘about’ a group of people who became mute ‘subjects’. These initiatives are presented from different organisational perspectives and resulting different approaches. Each speaks to the potential to constructively disrupt existing practice; respond to damage done by past actions; and bring change and reward.
