Archives and the Practice of History
February 3, 2:30pm - 4:00pmMānoa Campus, Sakamaki A-201
The spring History Workshop series "Archives and the Practice of History" will kick off with a roundtable featuring faculty from the History Department. Archives and archival sources are embedded in the institutions and structures of power that historically have produced them. As such they offer invaluable windows onto the past, while posing evidentiary challenges based on their partial representative value, and the power dynamics that shaped their composition, contemporary significance, and the exclusion and inclusion of voices and perspectives that accompanied their creation. What practical, ethical, and other issues accompany finding and defining archives? What challenges confront the reading, use, and interpretation of sources? As historians, how have the nature, possibilities, and limitations of the archives influenced our practice and the values embedded in the histories we tell? There will be a reception in the History Department Lounge following the roundtable.
