Join us! This is a collaborative effort. If you have ideas for activities, readings, or resources you would like to see included, send them to us at archivistsagainst at gmail.com.
We are looking for exercises and activities that will get people to think about and do archives differently. We are particularly looking for interventions that challenge dominant archival theory and practice on a structural level. Activities may be aimed at archivists, students, researchers who use archives, or the general public. Submissions will be subject to peer review from our advisory board. For examples, see: Teaching to Dismantle White Supremacy in Archives Exercise and Imagining Liberation Exercise.
Our activity submission guidelines: If you have an activity you would like to submit for inclusion on the site, email it to archivistsagainst at gmail dot com using the template provided here. Try to provide as much detail as possible about the goals and mechanics of the exercise.
Submitted activities will be peer-reviewed by Archivists Against Collective members.
