Memory as Resistance: Grassroots Archives and the Battle of Memory

This November, CONNEXIONS and Beit Zatoun are spotlighting “grassroots archiving.”
Events include an open house and networking event November 24, a talk and discussion November 27, and an ongoing exhibit (November 16-27).

We would appreciate your help publicizing these initiatives.

research project into the history and current collection practices of archives
and libraries collecting anarchist material. I would very much appreciate your
participation in the below survey, you answers will help give me a much better
picture of the universe of current practices. Please also consider spreading
this questionnaire far and wide. The results of this survey and research will
be published and shared with all interested parties.
