The initiative to document and disseminate Tamil-Norwegian local history through a book project started in 2017. The initiative gradually evolved to DiasporA Tamil Archives (DTA). Since 2018, the DTA has been working with various organisations, institutions and individuals in Norway to carry out various projects. With their advice, guidance, support and cooperation, DTA has been working to capture, secure, preserve and disseminate Tamil-Norwegian diaspora history and Diaspora Tamil history and heritage. Community and participatory archives are grass-root collaborative movements that develop in the community. Thanks to everyone who made this collaborative movement possible. We look forward to working with different organisations, institutions and individuals to further strengthen this process.

Archiving the 8th is a research and networking project that emerged in 2018 following the referendum on the 8th Amendment of the Irish Constitution on 25 May 2018, which overturned the constitutional ban on abortion in Ireland. As a collective of archivists, academics and activists, our ambition is to support nationwide efforts to archive, collect, and research issues concerning women’s reproductive health and rights, spanning the two abortion referenda in Ireland (1983-2018).

2021 Writer-in-Residence

Jorge writes:

"My life is marked by institutional boundaries - school, the military, and incarceration. I've struggle to transcend those boundaries through my writing, to make sense of my place in this world and my path through it.

My father was mixed Creole and Spanish, and my indigenous mother crossed the Rio Bravo to escape an abusive husband at 15. I grew up in the Texas Panhandle until my father lost his job as a farm foreman, and we pursued the crops for three years, along with waves of other displaced families. Restless, I left school at 17, enrolled in the Army and found myself in a 52-ton tank in Germany, trying desperately to fit in with the Vietnam vets rotating over to Europe. Fitting in with them meant adopting a cynical, seen-it-all attitude and ingesting copious amounts of illicit drugs. Lucky to get out with an honorable discharge, I drifted back to South Texas, found myself in jail for DWI, and was tossed out of a 12-man tank with my pants around my ankles in 1977, blood leaking from my body after being sexually abused. Two weeks later I walked into a Beeville fast food joint with my father's 30.06 and began my descent into self-destructiveness and predation.

I paroled from prison for the last time in 2008, having spent 27 of 32 years in Texas cages. I wrote my way sane while incarcerated, publishing poetry and essays in dozens of journals, opinion pieces for newspapers across the country, and a book where I tried to explain to Texas families seeking answers about prison and spurned by prison officials. I decided after my release that I would do all I could to ensure other human beings didn't face the same dehumanization as I and others had, and I've tried - as an organizer, a policy analyst, a writer, and as a human. I've not always succeeded, but I listen well and I chronicle the stories and pain I see, and it is my honor to share those with TAVP and those who support its mission.

For those who seek more details, I am the SW Region Director for Policy and Advocacy at LatinoJustice PRLDEF. I've worked at the Prison Policy Initiative, the Center for Community Change, Grassroots Leadership, and at the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition. I hope I have not left too negative a legacy at any of those places, as I learned from them all.

Archive Territory [territorioarchivo.org] is a work-in-progress project studies the interdependence between the idea of territory and archive in eight towns, using a non-fictional approach and a program of activations. These towns are rural areas, some bigger than others, located in two regions of Castilla y León (Spain): seven in the area of Condado-Curueño (León). Additionally, the project lends the most significant weight to the construction of common stories, offering a collective awareness to the social, cultural or historic reading of any place.

Ájtte Museum in Jokkmokk - the Sami centre
Jokkmokk, just north of the Arctic Circle, has always been an obvious meeting place for trade, gatherings, festivals and meetings between friends from far and near. This is the site of Ájtte, Swedish Mountain and Sami Museum, a gateway to the high mountains, to Laponia and to the Sami culture. Here, we tell the
story of Sápmi, the land and the people, of life and survival in a
demanding climate and environment. It is a story set in the
wetlands, forests and mountains.

Sápmi, the land of the Sami - extends without bounds across the territory of four nations, encompassing a vast area of mountainous and forested country, tundra and wetlands. Here, we have hunted and fished for thousands of years, we have wandered endless paths and given names to mountaintops and streams. We have raised our children, sung praises of the land and appeased the gods for good hunting. We have followed the reindeer, driven our herds to better grazing and watched over the new-borns.

Laponia - Lapland's world heritage area, covers an area of 9,400km ² in the mountains and forests of Norrbotten and has been the home of nomadic hunters and reindeer herders since time immemorial. This is the site of four national parks and several nature preserves. In 1996 Laponia was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. The museum's Laponia exhibit gives an insight into its cultural and natural significance for all of humanity.

Exhibits
Costume and Silver: From hides and leather to festive dress of cloth. The Sami silver and its mediaeval design.
Drum Time: Religion and mythology.
Life of the settlers: A settler family in the early 1900s.
Getting by: The nomadic life and selfsubsistence with reindeer up to modern times.
On the Move: How people have adapted to life in a land without roads, and the migration of animals.
Laponia - my Heritage as well as that of the World. World Heritage site with cultural and natural significance for all humanity.

A lot more than just exhibits
* Library, archives and study room. * Fjällinformation: Norrbotten's national parks and Laponia.
* Museum shop: genuine handicrafts of the finest quality, maps, books, music, etc. * Restaurang Ájtte, serving both Sami dishes and specials of the day.

Jokkmokk's Alpine Garden - a growing part of Ájtte
Open during the summer, this alpine garden is an oasis on the shores of Talvatis Lake. Lightly trodden paths take us through various natural milieus hosting the flora of the region. One of mountain researcher Axel Hamberg's field research huts has been moved here from Sarek National Park.

The Swedish Labour Movement's Archives and Library is an independent foundation with the Swedish government, The Trade Union Confederation of Sweden and the Social Democratic Party as principals. We were founded in 1902 and combine an archive, a library and research promotion activities with our own journal, research, seminars and publications.
The first article of our statutes establishes that we are to "collect, care for and organize the material" as well as "facilitate for researcers, students and the general public to take part of the institution's material". This we achieve through the following:

Archive. More than 5,000 archives from political, trade union and other organisations and a variety of personal archives document the Swedish labour movement's history. Furthermore, there are over 120 foreign archives. Extensive collections of photographs and slides, posters, films, sound recordings, banners, badges and objects convey additional historical information. Both new archives, and additions to older archives, are received every year.

Library. We are a scientific special library with a stock that reflects the trade union and the political labour movement's history, theory and organisations. The collection consists of printed sources: documentation from organisational conferences and congresses, records, annual reports, trade union journals and many socialist movements' newspapers and journals. Subject-wise, the collection of literature is more wide-ranging, and we can be described as a general social science library.

Overall, we administer an historic cultural treasure of national and international interest.

Research Promotion. A further task is to promote research on labour history, which we do through conferences, seminars, publications and participation in various external working groups. We provide tutors at universities and advice on research, essay topics and seminar planning. In order to increase knowledge of and interest in labour history, we also participate in exhibitions and publish the journal Arbetarhistoria. To spread the knowledge of historical sources and literature, we organize group tours.

The Women and Memory Forum (WMF) was founded in 1995 by a group of women academics, researchers and activists concerned about the negative representations and perceptions of Arab women in the cultural sphere. Dominant cultural views and images of Arab women constitute a major stumbling block in the course of women’s development and the attainment of their rights.

We believe that one of the main obstacles facing Arab women now is the scarcity of alternative cultural information and knowledge about the role of women in history and in contemporary society. The group attained formal status in order to advocate and promote the integration of gender as a category of analysis in the study and interpretation of Arab history and the social sciences in general. The long-term objective of WMF’s specialized research is to produce and make available alternative cultural information about Arab women that can be used to empower women and to raise awareness about gender issues.

The idea to start SAQMI began in 2016 when Anna Linder researched the topic of Queer moving images at Valand Academy in Gothenburg. Today, SAQMI is located in the Gathenhielmska Cultural Reserve in Gothenburg and works to collect and make Swedish queer moving images visible. The first public screening took place at Umeå European Film Festival / Bildmuseet Umeå - Art´s Friday! on the 24th of November 2017. SAQMI has been made possible by Kulturbryggan's key support between 2016-2020.
With funding from Swedish Arts Council, Gothenburg City and Holger and Thyra Lauritzens foundation. In collaboration with HDK-Valand - Academy of Art and Design/University of Gothenburg.

"Queers have long been collectors because they are not the subject of official histories and thus have to make it themselves, collecting materials that others might see as marginal"

The Women’s Library and Information Centre Foundation (WLICF) is the first and only women-centred library and archive in Turkey. It was founded in Istanbul by Aslı Davaz, Füsun Akatlı, Füsun Ertuğ, Jale Baysal, and Şirin Tekeli; and opened to the public on 14 April, 1990. At that time, the women’s movement in Turkey had already gathered a wealth of documents related to the struggle for women’s rights. These documents concerned issues such as equal pay for equal work, equality in civil rights, ending all kinds of violence against women and equal representation in parliament. The collections of the Women’s Library in Istanbul are organized in sixteen main sections: Women’s Private Papers, Women’s Oral History, Women’s Organizations, Ephemera, Women Writers, Women Artists, Visual Documents, Audio Material, Posters, Art Collections, Newspaper Clippings, Books, Periodicals, Rare Material, Thesis-Dissertations and Articles.

Diyarbakır is among the rare cities to have remained in existence on its original site for six thousand years straight, thus representing the development of urban history in all of its stages. It is particularly special and important with its rich cultural heritage and multilingual, multicultural and multifaith character. This website has been prepared in order to record, preserve and promulgate this city's history accumulated over the ages.

In Diyarbakır's Memory, tangible and intangible cultural values and history are treated in light of various chosen themes, drawing on material culture objects as well as visual and audio material and documents pertaining to history, culture, social life, architecture, trade, production, natural life, daily life, music, literature, art, etc.

Later on, we hope to collect information and documents on the history, culture, architecture and sociocultural makeup of Diyarbakır by way of archival research, hold conferences and academic presentations, and prepare this data for publication with the contribution and participation of scholars. We realize this is a challenging and long-term endeavour, requiring patience and determination.

This is also an open call to all those who wish to contribute to our efforts, enriching and innovating our work by becoming part of it. Your participation is vital to creating a platform that compiles information and documents on Diyarbakır, brings these to the attention of scholars and those interested, keeps memory fresh for future generations, and breathes life into the profound history and culture of the city. We are ready to receive documents of historical value as well as oral history-related information, documents, visual and audio material regarding the city's history, culture and architecture such as photographs, sound/voice recordings, films, maps, plans, documents, manuscripts, family tree records, letters, official papers, autobiographical data and unpublished notes kept in private collections. Upon your submitting such documents to the Diyarbakır's Memory they will be converted to digital form, after which the originals shall be returned to you. You may reach us through our contact information in order to share such resources, obtain information regarding the terms of use of the material you share, and provide any suggestions you may have.

The project is being run by the Diyarbakır Association for the Protection of Cultural and Natural Assets (Diyarbakır Kültür Tabiat Varlıklarını Koruma Derneği), which was founded in Diyarbakır in 1996 for the purpose of protecting and conserving tangible and intangible cultural and natural assets. It works to protect, document and promote the city's cultural and natural values.

Collaborating with the Diyarbakır Association for the Protection of Cultural and Natural Assets for the Diyarbakır's Memory project, Anadolu Kültür was founded in 2002 in order to contribute to the production, viewing and sharing of arts and culture in Anatolian towns and promulgate a pluralistic understanding of culture. The very same year it established the Diyarbakır Arts Center, with the mission of building bridges between artists and cultural practitioners in the west and Diyarbakır, supporting local artists and providing a common space for discussion and artistic/cultural production. Anadolu Kültür also undertakes projects to record, digitally archive and preserve cultural assets.

The Nakba Archive is an oral history collective established in Lebanon in 2002. Since it’s inception, the Archive has recorded over 650 video interviews with first generation Palestinian refugees in Lebanon about their recollections of life in Palestine and the events that led to their displacement. These eyewitness narratives, with refugees from more than 150 Palestinian villages and towns, recall social and cultural life in Palestine before 1948, relations with neighboring Jewish communities and the British Mandate, the 1948 expulsion, and the early years of exile. The aim has been to document this critical period through the voices and experiences of those who lived through it, and to bear witness in a way shaped not by political symbolism but rather by the rhythms of personal memory.

The Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina represents a group of trans activists who collect, organize, and circulate photographs and written materials (diaries, letters, postcards) about trans people in Argentina, with a focus on visual archiving. In 2020, in collaboration with Editorial Chaco, this group published an eponymous selection of photos and archival materials alongside short autobiographical texts. After the celebration of the International Trans Day of Visibility (March 31), a reflection on the Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina’s book may help us to see the relationship between cultural memory, visuality, and social movements in the specific case of trans activism.

The LRA will take an active role in documenting the heritage and narratives of the refugee and migrant experience. Archives have the power to present a narrative determined by the documentary evidence that has survived. Archive have the power to preserve community memory and influence individual identity.  What is the role of archives in enabling refugees to have a voice in the social, legal and political empowerment of communities?

The Archiv der Jugendkulturen is a memory of the scenes, from science fiction, gothic and graffiti to punk, riot grrrl and techno. Our archive a non-profit-organisation in Berlin that has been collecting documents and ephemera of youth-, pop-, and subcultural scenes since 1997. State institutions barely collect these histories of resistance which makes self-organized archives like ours unique. We are convinced that these scenes are an important part of cultural and social history and that their relics should be permanently preserved. Over the years we have become an important place for people from youth and subcultures as well as activists, researchers, academics, historians and political educators and the interest for our unique collection continues to grow.

The South African History Archive (SAHA) is an independent human rights archive dedicated to documenting, supporting and promoting greater awareness of past and contemporary struggles for justice through archival practices and outreach, and the utilisation of access to information laws.

Established by anti-apartheid activists in the 1980s, SAHA was closely connected in its formative years to the United Democratic Front, the Congress of South African Trade Unions and the African National Congress. SAHA is now politically non-aligned, committed to:

Recapturing lost and neglected histories;

Recording aspects of South African democracy in the making;

Bringing history out of the archives and into schools, universities and communities in new and innovative ways;

Extending the boundaries of freedom of information in South Africa;

Raise awareness, both nationally and internationally, of the role of archives and documentation in promoting and defending human rights.

Decolonising the Archive (DTA)
What does the Pan-African archive look like? Sound Like? Feel like? Where does it begin and where are its limits? How is the archive expressed within our own cultural frameworks? Our work explores these questions. Our exploration is creating something beautiful.  We are changing our narrative. History is healing. We cannot decolonise what was never ours to begin with - but we can always create. When we face the past we understand the present. In understanding the present, we shape our future.

performance to communicate their experience as a Black Trans person. Their practice focuses
on recording the lives of Black Trans people, intertwining lived experience with fiction to
imaginatively retell Trans stories. Spurred on by a desire to meet buried bodies like theirs, their
work dreams of a Trans archive where Black Trans people could share their buried experiences.
Throughout history, Black queer and Trans people have been erased from the archives.
Because of this it is necessary not only to archive our existence, but also the many creative
narratives we have used and continue to use to share our experiences.

London Community Video Archive
Based at Goldsmiths University of London,  the  London Community Video Archive (LCVA) preserves, archives and shares community videos made in the 1970s/80s in London and the South East. Portable video recording — now a technology routinely embodied in smartphones — became available for the very first time back in the early 1970s, making it possible for individuals and communities to make their own television. The medium was taken up by people ignored or under-represented in the mainstream media – tenants on housing estates, community action groups, women, black and minority ethnic groups, youth, gay and lesbian people, and the disabled. With an overriding commitment to social empowerment and to combating exclusion, 'Community Video' dealt with issues which still have a contemporary resonance — housing, play-space, discrimination, youth arts.

The Krikor Guerguerian Archive
Krikor Guerguerian Archive comprises thousands of original Ottoman documents and Guerguerian’s extensive, unpublished writings. It includes the long-missing handwritten memoirs of Naim Bey, an Ottoman bureaucrat stationed in Aleppo who actively participated in the deportation and massacres of Armenians; documents from the Jerusalem Armenian Patriarchate containing first-hand information about the Armenian genocide; and critical papers from the Istanbul perpetrator trials held from 1919 to 1922 that were long assumed vanished.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Krikor Guerguerian Archive consists of documents collected by Guerguerian throughout his life, starting from the 1930s until his death in 1988. Despite scholars' prior awareness of the Archive's existence, almost nobody had ever utilized it. The primary reason for this is that the Archive had never been sorted, catalogued and classified. The materials within the Archive were in a state of utter disarray were lacking in a systematized structure.

While transferring all of the Archive's materials online, we conducted a limited classification and divided the documents into three primary categories. We named these categories the First, Second and Third Archives and uploaded them into separate sections. Detailed information about each of these separate archives and the documents that they contain can be found in these respective sections.

The First Archive consists solely of Ottoman materials. The majority of the documents pertain to the trials, from 1919-1921, against the Committee of Union and Progress members and perpetrators of genocide. The original documents of these materials are either lost or being held in secret by the Turkish government. The materials available here are comprised of films taken by Guerguerian in the mid-1960s of documents whose hard copies are being held at the Armenian Patriarchate in Jerusalem. We had the opportunity of comparing the documents that Guerguerian filmed with the documents at the Armenian Patriarchate in Jerusalem. This comparison revealed that Guerguerian had filmed nearly all of the existing materials on the tribunals. We thank the Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem Archbishop Nourhan Manougian for providing us with the opportunity to conduct this comparison.

For the story on how the documents regarding the Istanbul Tribunals reached the Jerusalem Archive, please look at the section outlining Guerguerian's life story.

A second portion of these Ottoman documents was taken from the Boghos Nubar Pasha Library in Paris, including the documents containing the Memoirs of the Ottoman bureaucrat named Naim Efendi and the Talat Pasha telegraphs.

The entirety of the Ottoman materials have been sorted, classified and transcribed. Their translation into the English language is ongoing. The Turkish transliterations and the English translations will be uploaded as they are completed. Furthermore, a detailed index explaining the content of each document has been created, facilitating the researcher's access to documents of interest.

The Second Archive is comprised of Guerguerian's personal works. Until his death in 1988, Guerguerian worked on the materials he collected by taking various notes and translating them into several languages, including Armenian, French and English. He also wrote books on various topics, such as the Yozgat and Kayseri trials of 1919-1920. Out of respect to Guerguerian's work as well as the difficult nature of sorting and classifying these materials, we left these extremely disorganized and unsystematized documents as they are. However, we decided to provide special commentary containing some general information on these Armenian, French, English and Turkish materials, as well as a highly detailed index that we prepared. Utilizing these two tools, the reader will be able to navigate the documents of Guerguerian's Private Archive with ease.

The Third Archive contains original materials collected by Guerguerian from the national archives of other countries. The French and Armenian documents belonging to the Istanbul Patriarchate comprise an important section of the documents in this section. Furthermore, documents from the Austrian, German, British and American national archives can also be found here. A commentary containing additional information on this archive as well as a special index were created for this section.

One of the richest materials in the archive are the documents mostly in hand written Armenian language. Please click here to learn about the contents of these materials: Armenian materials of the Guerguerian archive

The Guerguerian archive is a set of scans in PDF format that reside in Clark University's Digital Commons.

Important note: The original materials comprising the Guerguerian Archive have been donated to the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) in Belmont, MA, where they will become part of NAASR's Mardigian Library. Following the opening of NAASR's new headquarters building in fall 2019 these materials will become available to researchers.

Internet Archive
The Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, the print disabled, and the general public. Our mission is to provide Universal Access to All Knowledge.

We began in 1996 by archiving the Internet itself, a medium that was just beginning to grow in use. Like newspapers, the content published on the web was ephemeral - but unlike newspapers, no one was saving it. Today we have 20+ years of web history accessible through the Wayback Machine and we work with 625+ library and other partners through our Archive-It program to identify important web pages.

As our web archive grew, so did our commitment to providing digital versions of other published works. Today our archive contains:

475 billion web pages

28 million books and texts

14 million audio recordings (including 220,000 live concerts)

6 million videos (including 2 million Television News programs)

3.5 million images

Digital Archive of the Guatemalan National Police Historical Archive (AHPN)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A product of broad international collaboration, these digitized documents from the Guatemalan National Police Historical Archive (AHPN) aim to facilitate scholarly and legal research into a vast cache of historical documentation. The discovery of the National Police Historical Archive in 2005 opened an extensive and timely resource for the study of Guatemalan history and human rights in the region, spanning a broad array of topics from Guatemala's armed conflict between 1960 and 1996 to the sexually transmitted disease experiments performed at the behest of the United States government in the 1940s. This site currently includes over 10 million scanned images of documents from the National Police Historical Archive. This digital archive mirrors and extends the physical archive that remains preserved in Guatemala as an important historical patrimony of the Guatemalan people.

There are three main resources users can access from here to assist in making the research process with the AHPN digital archive as productive as possible. First, some brief instructions and sample search strategies can be found on the About this Site page. For more in depth research, we suggest taking some time to read our AHPN Digital Archive User Guide, which includes numerous examples of how to locate specific types of documents. Ultimately, productive research in the archive will require an in-depth understanding of the organizational structure and functions of the National Police and its many constituent units.

The single best source for this information is the book, From Silence to Memory: Revelations of the AHPN.

This is not a full text search engine like Google, but rather a digital iteration of what you would encounter working in the massive paper archive in Guatemala. When you go to an archive, you will seldom find the exact document you are looking for right away. It will often take many hours of investigation to find relevant documents, if they exist at all. This Archive is arranged in accordance with the professional archival principles of provenance and original order to reflect the Guatemalan National Police administrative structure, and understanding that structure is a valuable way to start.

The AHPN Digital Archive is a collaborative project of the University of Texas' Lozano Long Institute for Latin American Studies, Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice, and Benson Latin American Collection, with the Archivo Histórico de la Policía Nacional de Guatemala. We hope this resource will serve to promote a better understanding of the social and political history of Guatemala and will facilitate the search for truth and respect for human rights in the region.

The brief video below shows parts of the archival processing work that takes place at the AHPN, as well as the digitization which ultimately culminates in the documents being put online here on the AHPN Digital Archive.

1. Compañeras: Historia de mujeres zapatistas. Hilary Klein. Tinta Limón. 2019.

En el contexto de siglos de racismo y explotación, la dignidad que transmite el porte de estas mujeres encarna lo que llegó a representar el movimiento zapatista: la resistencia de lxs marginalizadxs y lxs olvidadxs contra los poderosos. Campesinxs convertidxs en combatientes, madres devenidas liderasas revolucionarias. Decenas, cientos, miles de mujeres zapatistas reunidas, pequeñas, morenas, sus rostros cubiertos con paliacates colorados que ocultan su identidad individual, sus largas trenzas negras colgando en su espalda, sus puños salpicando el aire. Éstas han marchado, se han organizado, han sembrado semillas, tanto reales como simbólicas. Se han plantado frente al ejército mexicano y frente a sus esposos. Han transformado su vida, cambiando el mundo que las rodea.

2. Empowerment und Widerstand. Inspirierende Begegnungen mit Audre Lorde. Marion Kraft. w_orten&meer. 2021.

Audre Lorde (1934-1992) ist eine der einflussreichsten afroamerikanischen Autorinnen* des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Werke der Schwarzen lesbischen kriegerischen Dichterin - wie sie sich selbst bezeichnete - und Aktivistin, Essayistin und Romanautorin sind bis heute international wegweisend und aktuell für Schwarze, feministische* und weitere Befreiungsbewegungen. Dieser Band veranschaulicht die Verbindungen Schwarzer Frauen über Grenzen und Unterschiede hinweg. Er bietet einen verdichteten Überblick über das Leben, die Visionen und die Philosophie Audre Lordes. Marion Kraft, eine enge Freundin Audre Lordes präsentiert in diesem Buch persönliche und facettenreiche Essays über das Werk, Leben und die Visionen Audre Lordes. In einem Interview aus dem Jahr 1986 kommt Audre Lorde selbst zu Wort. Das Buch wurde von Marion Kraft zunächst anlässlich Audre Lordes 25. Todestages auf Englisch veröffentlicht und liegt hier nun endlich auch auf Deutsch vor. Es ist eine politische wie persönliche Hommage an Audre Lorde und ihr wichtiges transnationales, literarisches und aktivistisches Wirken.
3. Why we matter. Das Ende der unterdrückung. Emilia Roig. aufbau. 2021.
Emilia Roig deckt die Muster der Unterdrückung auf und leitet zu radikaler Solidarität an. Sie zeigt - auch anhand der Geschichte ihrer eigenen Familie -, wie Rassismus und Black Pride, Trauma und Ausschwitz, Homofeindlichkeit und Queerness, Patriarchat und Feminismus aufeinanderprallen.
4. Interdisziplinäre Stadtforschung. Themen und Perspektiven. Raphaela Kogler, Alexander Hamedinger (Hg.). Transcript Verlag. 2021.
Interdisziplinarität in der Stadtforschung ist ein Forschungsversprechen, das schon lange formuliert, aber nicht immer konsequent eingelöst wurde. Was bedeutet Interdisziplinarität für die Erforschung von komplexen Themenfeldern wie Wohnen, Infrastrukturen oder Mobilität? Die Beiträge des Bandes bieten einen Überblick zu unterschiedlichen disziplinären Perspektiven auf Stadt und Raum und zeigen, wie interdisziplinäre Stadtforschung verhandelt werden kann.
5. Aimee Köster & Die Schaffende Frau. Eine anarcha-femisitische Spurensuche in die Weimarer Republik.
Von 1919 bis 1925 gab die Redakteurin Aimée Köster in Dresden die Zeitschrift Die Schaffende Frau heraus. Ihre sozialistische Modezeitschrift wurde schnell zur „Pflichtlektüre" syndikalistischer Fraeuengruppen. Sie verbindet frauenpolitische Anliegen mit libertäar-sozialistischer Bildung und Propaganda. Dabei stehen die wechselseitigen Beziehungen zwischen Privat- und Familienleben, politischer Bildung und Organisierung sowie der erträumten sozialistischen Revolution im Vordergrund.

Diese Broschüre eröffnet Einblicke in die theoretischen und praktischen Grundlagen einer revoltionären Frauenpolitik aus der Weimarer Republik, die damals zwar marginal blieb, uns als Vorläufer eines libertäar-sozialistischen Feminimus aber heute noch inspirieren kann.
6. Covid-19 internationale Perspektiven und Berichte. crimethInc., Amandla u. a. aufbau A.
Zuhause ist keine private Umzäunung, die uns in winzige Leben trennt, die nacheinander geteilt und erobert werden können; es ist de kollektive Solidaritäat, die wir aufbauen, indem wir füreinander einstehen und eingreifen, wenn wir sehen, dass andere bedroht werden.
7. Covid-Politik und die Neuformierung der Macht. Detlef Hartmann. aufbau A.
Die postdemokratische Bemäachtigung, wie sie in der Corna-Krise ihre Zuspitzung sucht, ist keineswegs vorübergehender Natur. Das lieght nicht nur daran, dass die Corona-Krise nicht beendet ist. Eine Reihe witerer Krisen haben bereits begonnen und verstärken sich zunehmend.
8. Mario Magonio. Tagebuch einer Gefangenschaft. 16. Juni 1944 - 1. Oktober 1945. 2020.
Warum waren 20.000 Italiener*innen nach Kriegsende 1945 im kleinen Städtchen Buckow im märkischen Oderland? Wer waren diese Menschen? Auf der Suche nach Antworten, fanden wir das „Diario di guerra" von Mario Magonio. In täaglichen Eintragungen schildert es im Zeitraum 1944 - 1945 die Ereignisse und Umstäande seiner Deportation aus Genua in die Zwangsarbeit für die Demag/Alkett nach Falkensee bei Berlin und die schwierige Reise züruck nach Hause. Mario Magonio beschreibt anschaulich und konkret einen von tausenden Wegen, der italienische Gefangene damals in diese Region verschung.
9. Texte nach Hanau. stolzeaugen books gUG. 2021.
Am 19.02.2020 wurden in Hanau 9 Menschen unter anderem in einer Shisha Bar ermordet, einem Ort, an dem sie sich sicher fühlten. Wir fragen uns schon lange, was es noch braucht, damit endlich gesamtgesellschaftlich ernst genommen wird: Rassismus tötet. `Texte nach Hanau` bildet die Stimmen von 50 Menschen ab, die ihre Gefühle und Gedanken, Enttäuschungen und Erwartungen nach dem Anschlag in Hanau am 19. Februar 2020 zum Ausdruck bringen. Während anderswo Karnevalsfeste das Geschehen bestimmten, litt ein großer Teil der Bevölkerung unter dem kollektiven Schock, sowie dem lapidaren bis ignoranten Umgang der Medien - vielfach auch des weißen Freund:innenkreises und Umfelds. Die 63 Texte sind ehrlich, schonungslos, zutiefst berührend. Wer sich darauf einlässt, wird der eigenen Trauer begegnen, soviel ist sicher. Mit dem Buch `Texte nach Hanau` halten Sie ein Zeit-Zeugnis in den Händen, welches in dieser Form einzigartig ist. Alle Beiträge in diesem Buch wurden von BiPoC, also Menschen, die durch Rassismus diskriminiert werden, verfasst.
10. (Ausstellungskatalog) Rotspanier. Spanische Zwangsarbeiter während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Dokumentationszentrum NS-Zwangsarbeit. 2021.
Etwa 13 Millionen Kriegsgefangene, Zivilarbeitende und KZ-Häftlinge wurden während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in das Deutsche Reich verschleppt, um in der deutschen Kriegswirtschaft Zwangsarbeit zu leisten. Zwangsarbeitereinsätze gab es jedoch auch außerhalb Deutschlands. In den von NS-Deutschland besetzten Ländern wurde die Zivilbevölkerung zur Zwangsarbeit rekrutiert und vor Ort eingesetzt.

Ein besonderer Fall waren die antifaschistischen Republikaner aus dem spanischen Bürgerkrieg. Vom Militär unter General Franco besiegt, flohen 1939 etwa 450.000 Männer, Frauen und Kinder nach Frankreich. Dort wurden sie in Lagern interniert.
Die NS-Propaganda bezeichnete die Franco-Gegner als „Rotspanier".

Die dreisprachige Wechselausstellung (deutsch/spanisch/französisch) der Historiker Dr. Peter Gaida und Dr. Antonio Munoz Sánchez behandelt den Einsatz der spanischen Flüchtlinge in der französischen Armee und Kriegswirtschaft. Ab 1940 mussten sie zunächst für das Vichy-Regime, das mit Deutschland kollaborierte, dann für die deutsche Besatzungsmacht in Frankreich Zwangsarbeit leisten. Die Ausstellung schildert die Deportation tausender „Rotspanier" in die Konzentrationslager, vor allem nach Mauthausen, und ihren Einsatz beim Bau des „Atlantikwalls" für die nationalsozialistische „Organisation Todt". Etwa 10.000 Franco-Gegner schlossen sich dem französischen Widerstand an.

Das Schicksal der spanischen Republikaner ist in Deutschland nur wenig bekannt und wird in dieser Ausstellung erstmalig einem breiten Publikum vorgestellt.

11. Hab keine Angst, erzähl alles! Das Attentat von Halle und die Stimmen der Überlebenden. Esther Dischereit (Hg.). Herder. 2021.

Zahlreiche Überlebende und Angehörige der Opfer der Mordanschläge von Halle am 9. Oktober 2019 wollen sich mit diesem Buch Gehör verschaffen. Während des Prozesses haben sich viele Betroffene und ihre Anwälte zu Wort gemeldet und in bewegenden, außergewöhnlichen Texten und Reden ihrem Schmerz und ihrem Zorn Ausdruck verliehen; und sie fragen nach Solidarität und Zusammenhalt in einer vielfältigen Gesellschaft nachgegangen.
Eine Auswahl dieser und weiterer Texte hat Esther Dischereit in Zusammenarbeit mit den Autorinnen und Autoren zusammengestellt. Daraus entsteht eine beeindruckende Dokumentation des Anschlags mit besonderem Augenmerk auf die juristische und öffentliche Verarbeitung sowie das Erleben der Betroffenen.

12. Les aventures de Mona. Jean Grave, Montserrat Puig Garrido. Descontrol. 2021.

La Nona és una nena de nou anys a qui li encanten els llibres. De la seva imaginació sorgeix aquesta aventura on la solidaritat, l'ecologia, el treball laboriós, la inclusió, la raó, el seny i sobretot l'amistat son la base d'una vida lliure a Autonomia. Però en Monadi, rei d'Argirocràcia està vigilant per raptar i portar al seu país les persones lliures per esclavitzar-les. Aconseguiran les nostres amigues alliberar la Nona d'un país on els diners són més lliures que les persones?

"Στις 5 Σεπτεμβρίου 2020, κεφάλαιο και κράτος δρουν συντονισμένα και εκκενώνουν την κατάληψη Rosa Nera στα Χανια. Η χαρακτηρισμένη ως πιο κοινωνική κατάληψη στον ελλαδικό χώρο δέχεται την αγκαλιά της αλληλεγγύης από πολλά σημεία του πλανήτη και κύματα συμπαράστασης από τη γεωγραφία που ονομάζεται Ελλάδα.

15. Απελευθερώνοντας Εδάφη. Συντονισμός Χανιων για το ταξίδι των Ζαπατίστας στη δική μας γεωγραφία. 2021.

Μου δίδαξε ο γέρο-Αντόνιο πως κάποιος είναι τόσο μεγάλος όσο ο εχθρός που διάλεξε να παλέψει, κι ότι κάποιος είναι τόσο μικρός όσο μεγάλος είναι ο φόβος που τον διακατέχει. "Διάλεξε ένα μεγάλο εχθρό κι αυτό θα σε αναγκάσει να μεγαλώσεις για να μπορέσεις να τον αντιμετωπίσεις. Μίκρυνε το φόβο σου, γιατί, αν μεγαλώσει, εσύ θα γίνεις μικρός", μου είπε ο γέρο-Αντόνιο ένα βροχερό μαγιάτικο απόγευμα, την ώρα εκείνη που βασιλεύουν το ταμπάκο κα ο λόγος. Η κυβέρνηση τον τρέμει το λαό του Μεξικού, γι' αυτό έχει τόσους στρατιώτες και αστυνομικούς. Έχει ένα φόβο πολύ μεγάλο. Κατά συνέπεια, η ίδια είναι πολύ μικρή. Εμείς φοβόμαστε τη λήθη, που πάμε να τη μικρύνουμε με πόνο και αίμα. Γι'αυτό είμαστε μεγάλοι.

Archive of Social Movements Bremen

- Archiv der sozialen Bewegungen -

The Archive of Social Movements was created at the beginning of 2000, when the book- and infoshop of the Bremen citizen initiative against atomic plants (Bremer BürgerInneninitiative gegen Atomanlagen, BBA) and the radical left infoshop "Umschlagplatz" merged. Their documents, which were collected in the course of the last three decades, formed the basic inventory. Some private collections were added. Regularly donations of material is taken up from other (movement-)archives all over Germany.

Under the slogan "of the movement - for the movement" material from the various resistance and protest movements of the last decades up to the present has been collected, sorted and made available. As an archive we can work against the "Geschichtslosigkeit" (the unawareness of former fights and movements). We would like to be a kind "memory for the left", collect material and make it available to people who are interested in historical work and political action nowadays. For the future it is of great importance that the documents of our history are not lost. National archives and libraries have only little material of this origin. Archives alone can surely not repair the crisis of the social movements, but they can make a contribution.

subject areas

The archive collects nearly everything concerning to the following topics of protest and resistance:
· history of Bremen
· critical historical work and methods (history from below, etc..)
· German history
· National Socialism
· APO/SDS/student movement
· woman and lesbian movement
· workers movement/trade unions
· communist groups
· education/school
· armed groups and political fights
· law/police
· squatting/town development
· peace movement/anti-militarism
· radical left movement, autonomous groups
· anti-nuclear movement
· internationalism/anti-imperialism
· social/health
· men/gays
· population politics/bio- and reproduction technologies
· anti-fascism
· refugees/migration
· racism/antisemitism
· traditional left/democratic socialism
· green parties
· Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS)/ DIE LINKE.
· new technologies/research
· ecology/alternative movement

Inventory
Books
The book inventory amounts to approximately 3000 volumes. They are thematically sorted. Further another 2000 volumes are momentarily still privately accommodated.

Newspapers and magazines
The newspaper and magazine archives cover over 1000 titles. In addition there are approx. 1000 titles in single or few copies. Among them many national magazins of the 1980's and 90´s, as well as foreign titles. Over 130 titles are constantly referred ( list of titles). Sorted alphabetically.

Pressing and document collection
In approx. 200 binders and standing collecting tanks of handbills, newspaper articles and brochures about all topics of social movements since the 1960's. Only two thirds of the existing material is roughly sorted.

Posters
A lot of posters is part of the archive, but they are not sorted yet.

Agriculture and rural areas (special collection)
Material about regional development, bio agriculture, agriculture, province work and rural social history (extent approx. 20 shelf meters).

What is looked for
We look for all documents (brochures, posters, handbills etc..) about protest and resistance, about left theory and practice in the last decades, as well as appropriate newspapers of all kinds. There is special interest in books of the last 10 to 15 years, magazines of the 1970's and 1960's, regional newspapers as well as at documents of all kinds of left politics and movements from abroad. We would be very happy to get more material! The material, which is not needed any longer by private citizens, should be put open to the interested public! Furthermore we offer guidance to users, assistance in the search for material for political work. We help for school or university purposes as well as we give information about critical historical work, movement archives and more.

Networking

Cooperation exists with comparable archives and libraries all over Germany. In particular the archive is member of (locally at Bremen)

Network self-help Bremen/North Lower Saxony (Netzwerk Selbsthilfe Bremen/Nordniedersachsen)

Association "remembering for the future" (Verein "Erinnern für die Zukunft") (more)

(Im)possible Counter-Archives sets forth a broad map of relations and connections that start from the political resignification of Guernica put into effect by different US artist-activist collectives at two specific junctures: the Vietnam War (1955–1975) and Iraq War (2003–2011). Around these two events another type of framework is constructed and comprises numerous moments, documents, discourses and agents. A sweeping and flexible framework which, rather than reciprocating with a linear reading, is responsive to a field of intensities that fluctuate, concentrate and expand. In this manner, we delve deeper into a critical temporality that starts at the present to look back at the past, leaving itself to be rocked by prior events and learning.

The Archive of Migrant Memories
It began as a repository for stories, narratives and testimonies collected in a school set up by the NGO “Asinitas” to teach Italian to refugees and migrants in connection with therapeutic experiments carried out by a group of volunteers cooperating with “Doctors against Torture”. The collection of stories and narratives began in 2004 among foreign squatters occupying the Tiburtina warehouse, a huge space taken over by several hundred asylum seekers and refugees from Dar Fur and regions of the Horn of Africa, forcibly evicted by the Rome Municipality in 2005.

The Archive of Migrant Memories began as a repository for stories, narratives and testimonies collected in a school set up by the NGO "Asinitas" to teach Italian to refugees and migrants in connection with therapeutic experiments carried out by a group of volunteers cooperating with "Doctors against Torture". The collection of stories and narratives began in 2004 among foreign squatters occupying the Tiburtina warehouse, a huge space taken over by several hundred asylum seekers and refugees from Dar Fur and regions of the Horn of Africa, forcibly evicted by the Rome Municipality in 2005.

It was here, in what had been Rome's first self-made migrant community, amidst the clothes and photographs the bulldozers had failed to destroy, that we began to think about how we could preserve the traces, stories and testimonies of the migrants' journeys and arrivals in order to keep a record of the complex reception conditions of Tiburtina's foreign 'guests'. The founding of the Asinitas school was part of this legacy. The migrants' stories, expressed hesitantly in scanty Italian, were used as teaching material, providing migrants living in the province of Rome with traces of memory that could foster recognition of their cultural identity and improve their knowledge of Italian.

The experience of working at the Asinitas school in via Ostiense in Rome marked the first stage of the Archive's activities of developing and experimenting projects for the collection and diffusion of audiovisual testimonies, carried out in collaboration with educators and volunteers. Initially (2005-2006), the activities of both the School and the Archive were supported by the Archivio Audiovisivo del Movimento Operaio e Democratico (Audiovisual Archive of the Democratic Workers Movement), sponsored by Unicredit, and later (2007-2012) by the lettera27 foundation[LINK].

In January 2012 AMM was registered as an Association for Social Promotion, moving from its original location in the Circolo Gianni Bosio to the Casa della Memoria e della Storia (Home of Memory and History) and developing its own independent research activities and in the production of audio-video materials.

AMM is registered in the Registro delle Associazioni di promozione sociale of Lazio (n. 1729 del 9/03/2015) (Registry of social promotion associations); and in the UNAR Registro delle Associazioni e degli Enti che svolgono attività nel campo della lotta alle discriminazioni (n. 480 del 24/10/2016) (Registry of associations and organizations involved in anti-discrimination activities).

The Center’s primary mission continues its creators’ aims: disseminate, preserve and add to the very rich audio-visual documents, mainly composed of videos involving the history of women, their battles and their creations.

Disseminating and enhancing or enriching the archive first involves showing the films and attending festivals and meetings. The archive catalogue and film extracts, as well as the data base also have to be accessible to a wide audience on line.

A People’s Archive of Police Violence in Cleveland collects, preserves, and shares the stories, memories, and accounts of police violence as experienced or observed by Cleveland citizens. Organized in Summer 2015 by Cleveland residents and professional archivists from across the U.S., the archive hopes to provide the Cleveland community--especially survivors of police violence and the families of victims-- a safe and secure space to share any testimony, documents, or accounts that narrate or reflect on encounters or effects of police violence in their lives and communities.

leftove.rs is a project that seeks to create a shared online archive of radical, anti-oppressive, and working class movements, and the material traces they have left. The platform hopes to aid the dissemination of archived ephemera from these movements, campaigns, and struggles, casting light on histories of resistance from below. We hope that the project will become a vital resource through opening up archives of radical dissent.

Our Collections

Our collection includes tens of thousands of items created as part of social movements around the world, by the participants themselves: posters, flyers, publications, zines, books, T-shirts and buttons, moving images, audio recordings, and other materials. For us, making this material accessible to the public is an act of preservation, not only of the physical materials, but of the collective history of those struggling for social change. Learn more about our collections and set up a time to visit them in-person in the archive.

May 2020 marked the 50th anniversary of the Kent State and Jackson State massacres, which set off a historically large-scale student strike across the nation. With the anniversary as an entry point and frame of reference, this 96-page full color publication uses posters, buttons, pamphlets, flyers, zines, and more-to examine the broader scope of student movements that both led up to and followed those of May 1970.

Interference Archive is kept open by the generous donations of people like you who use and support the archive. Thank you!

bak.ma digital media archive of social movements

bak.ma (means "don’t look" in Turkish)* digital media archive of social movements appeared following the massive urban protests in 2013 known as Gezi Park Resistance. By collectivizing knowledge and memory and operating as a space of empowerment bak.ma radicalizes the politics of the archive and indicates possibilities for creating a living memory of the social movements. bak.ma consists of voluminous video collections beginning from the 1960s until today covering political incidents and movements in Turkey’s history. As a constantly growing archive with a participatory approach, the users generate the content by bringing the video activist footage in, turning it into a collaborative archive. Starting from 2018, users from other countries began uploading their video recordings, texts, photographs, and sound recordings.

* “.ma” is an URL extension signifying ‘media archive’, which is originally the nation URL extension in Morocco.
