It seems Slideshare messes with my Drupal stylesheet, and since I don't have it in me right now to figure out why, I'll just give y'all the link to my slideshow instead of embedding it.
I am in Poitiers, France for an International Zine Libraries conference. That's Poitiers, not Paris. There are other cities in France, you know! As the founder of the Fanzinothèque here said in our meeting yesterday, the Fanzinothèque perhaps survived because it is here, not Paris, "Fuck Paris." Following is some basic info about the participating institutions.
This is another report back from the Zine Librarians (Un)conference: my notes on the collection development/intellectual freedom session.
Archiving Women was a one-day conference "bringing together scholars and archivists to examine feminist practices in the archive."
If I were a little more organized, I could share my notes, but unfortunately they're gone. Instead I'm going to bring up three different threads that for me characterized the event. They are preservation vs. privacy, the de-emphasis of the practitioner, and notable vs. common lives.
PS My presentation.
Archiving Women Conference, Columbia University
