How can archives preserve stories with care, build trust with communities, and reflect on ethical stewardship in today’s world?
In this episode we speak with Daniel Payne, Reference Archivist at The ArQuives, Canada’s LGBTQ2+ Archives. The ArQuives, founded in 1973, are now among the largest independent LGBTQ2+ archives in the world, with vast collections ranging from personal papers to photographs and memorabilia, all preserving the diverse story of queer and trans lives across Canada and beyond.
As ICOM revises its Code of Ethics, these questions are more important than ever.
