Preservation as subversion: Do grassroots archives have a future? Resource Type: Article Published: 2012 CONNEXIONS and Beit Zatoun are spotlighting grassroots archives this November with an open house and networking event November 24, a talk and discussion November 27, and an exhibit (November 16-27). Grassroots archives play a valuable role in what has been called the battle of memory. Mainstream media and institutions of power consign inconvenient histories, struggles, and alternative visions to what George Orwell called the memory hole.

Their role is particularly important as official archives are forced to restrict acquisitions, limit access and discard materials as funding is slashed.
