will ask what constitutes “trans* archives” or “trans* archival practices.”</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">While transgender-related experiences have long been captured by archives to some extent, the last few decades have witnessed an increased
commitment to collecting trans* materials. Consequently, sizable trans* collections can now be found in a range of institutional contexts including grassroots archives, nonprofit organizations, and university-based collections.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; "><br>
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">Given this trend, myriad practical considerations that trans* materials present for archiving warrant further attention. What should or should not be included in trans* archives? What are
the best practices for acquiring, processing, preserving, and making transgender materials accessible? Given practical limitations of space and money, how do we decide what to prioritize? And who decides? What are the implications for history when archivists
make such decisions? How should archives negotiate ethical concerns specific to trans* archives? What relationship—if any—do trans* materials have to broader LGBTQ collections? What cataloguing tools are available and how do they obscure, distort, or make
meaning of the lived experiences of trans* people? What are the benefits and limitations of using “transgender” or “trans*” as umbrella terms in an archival context? How are archivists and archival practices changed by the challenges of dealing with trans*
materials? What role can digital technologies play in collecting and accessing trans* materials, particularly born-digital materials?</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; "><br>
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">These practical considerations would be incomplete without a closely related theoretical exploration of trans* archiving. How, for example, are bodies representable (or unrepresentable) through
archival documents? How can embodiment itself be considered an archive of memory and feeling, a sedimentation of social practices, a living medium for the transmission of cultural forms? What power do archives have in shaping popular understandings of transgender
phenomena? How are researchers affected by their encounters with archival materials? How do archives steer researchers in particular ways with metadata, organizational systems, and finding aids? Can archives help construct community and personal identity?
Does digitization inherently change trans* historical artifacts?</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "></span></p>
