Seminar: Trusting queer archives in Helsinki on 11.10., deadline for reimbursement of travel costs 25.8.

Nordic Network for Queer History Archives and Activities (Nnaqh) invites archivists, museum workers, queer and history scholars, activists and other people interested in queer history to a seminar on queer archives/ queering archives and on creating trust in collecting practices. How do we address the biases and silences of archival practices and how do we enable trust and safety in archives from a queer perspective? And how well does the queer archival collections reflect the diversity of queer voices and history of the Nordic and Baltic countries? How can we decolonize archival practices?

The seminar in Helsinki is arranged by the Nordic network for queer history archives and activities and its local partner,  Friends of Queer History, in cooperation with the Finnish Literature Society SKS and The Finnish Labour Archive. The seminar will be streamed and the premises are accessible.

Nnaqh has a small budget for reimbursing the travel expenses of participants from the Nordic countries and the Baltic states. 

Please register to the seminar by September 30th 2023.

NB! If you apply for reimbursements the DL for reimbursement is August 25th.
