Panel Discussion: “Queer and Community Archival Practices”

How do communities, especially queer communities, preserve their histories for future generations?

In this event co-sponsored by Candler’s Methodist Studies program and Pitts Theology Library, panelists will consider the vital role of queer and community archives in preserving histories, identities, and lived experiences that have often been overlooked or excluded from traditional institutions. The conversation will examine the ethical and practical challenges of collecting, preserving, and providing access to community-created materials while centering the voices of those represented. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn about how to collect and share the stories, experiences, and memories of their own communities.

Moderator: Brandon Wason 09T 17G, head of special collections at Pitts Theology Library

Letitia Campbell, associate professor in the practice of ethics and society, Candler School of Theology

Morna Gerrard, Women and Gender Collections archivist, Georgia State University Library
