Grabbing Tea: Queer Conversations on Archives and Practice (Volume Two) centers queerness in archives and archival theory and practice. Scholars and practitioners share their conversations on the Archive as a site for reclamation, narrative storytelling, ancestral recalling, and historical revisioning within LGBTQ+ communities. These conversations integrate interpersonal experiences of professionalism, dive into our collections, and engage with the implications of race and sexuality in archival practice. Authors invite readers to join their conversations that consider the fluidity of our bodies as queer bodies, and our lives as queer lives inside of the archive.
