Archiving Cultures, Heritage, Community and the Making of Records and Memory, by Jeannette A. Bastian (Routledge, March 2023).
Archiving Cultures models the concept of cultural archives, focusing on how diverse communities express and record their heritage and collective memory and why and how these often-intangible expressions should be considered and treated as archival records. Analyses of oral traditions, memory texts and performance arts demonstrate their relevance as records of their communities. It is available as an e-book and in hard copy.
