is anyone aware of Canadian (or helpful US examples) where a community organization (a queer) library forced the deacessioning / return of their materials from a provincial or federal #archives? there is no evidence the donor had permission to donate the records in question. #glams #critarch 📜📃

text: By way of example, a queer archivalimaginary would include same-sex love letters or suggestive diariesdestroyed by individuals or family members.17Developing this, the Homosaurus often creates what could becalled “metadatic imaginaries” when we create terms for things thatwe can imagine existing, even if there is no evidence for their exis-tence. We often refer to this by the shorthand of “bisexual beaches,”a real Homosaurus term created in a batch alongside “gay beaches”and “lesbian beaches.” Even though we have no evidence for the exis-tence of a bisexual beach, they are things that we can imagine, giventhe existence of other queer beaches.
tldr to imaginaries in #critarch: "archival imaginaries” describes the ways that individuals and communities use historical materials to “creatively and collectively re-envision the future through archival interventions in representations of the shared past." And #Homosaurus has plenty of those:
I say I'm "occupied with attempts to provide alternative bibliographic infrastructures for marginalized communities & the possibilities of queer #metadata"
What I'm actually up to is a #critarch & #critcat convo with “metadatic imaginaries” and “impossible metadatic imaginaries" via #HomoIT
BUT NOW I'm at #rbms23 Reframing our “accurate” historical records: looking at statements on harmful content & description sponsored by Type Punch Matrix. we are at STANDING ROOM ONLY; which I love to see for a #critcat #critlib #critarch panel!!

Most importantly, hugely excited to have my field (#critcat #critarch #critlib) recognized among the highest levels of doctoral research. This is significant and indicates an interest in classification's role in cultural heritage, knowledge, and history #vaniercanada
