- Memory as Resistance: Grassroots Archives and the Battle of Memory
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. Peoples history projects such as grassroots archives preserve and share stories of resistance, hidden histories, and alternative visions. Their role is particularly important as official archives are forced to restrict acquisitions, limit access and discard materials as funding is slashed.

Collective Memory and Cultural Amnesia Resource Type: Serial Publication (Periodical) Published: 2017 Our society is obsessed with the short-term present. It devalues memory and the past.

- Ragpicking Through History: Class Memory, Class Struggle and its Archivists
Resource Type: Article Published: 2017 Our current conjuncture invites a renewed rethinking of two historical imaginaries: first, what is class memory? To ask this question is really to reopen a discussion on what is class struggle and, more specifically, how does our collective memorialisation of struggles past inform our relationship to struggle in the present.
