Sustain! A Zine About Digital Archiving, Community, and Preserving Queer History
Thinking about preservation as an act of resistance requires an understanding of the archive as an activist tool. The very act of collection – of data, of stories, of histories – for the purposes of archiving or preservation is one that necessitates a deep knowledge of where the data comes from, but also what that data offers us when thinking about current – and future – possibilities. Sustain! engages with these concepts, asking questions about what the archive offers underrepresented communities – in this case, the LGBTQ+ community – regarding the preservation of histories, reflections of communities, and strategic and safe use of digital spaces.
