Special Section on Taking a Stand!: Activism in Canadian Cultural Archives Note from the Guest Editors

摘要

The papers gathered together here were presented in earlier forms at the second biennial conference of the Archives in Canada Conference Series, held in June 2007 at Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa. The series, conceived and co-ordinated by Kathleen Garay and Christl Verduyn, with the ongoing support of Library and Archives Canada, aims at bringing scholars, archivists, librarians, and other professionals from the cultural community, together with the interested general public for the discussion of topics related to archives in Canada. Initiated at McMaster University in 2005, the first conference ("Turning the Knobs on Writers' Closets") focused on literary archives.
