Sound, Screen, and Archive: Researching Black Queer Media in LIS
This resource was created to support students and researchers working at the intersection of Black Studies and Library and Information Science. It responds to the need for more specialized tools to study Black queer media, especially in relation to archival preservation, memory work, and community-driven practices.
This guide gathers a range of resources, including institutional and grassroots archives, fellowships, critical theory, and creative works, all of which speak to how Black queer lives are recorded, remembered, and imagined. Across every section is a shared interest in how Black queer memory lives within audiovisual media, is shaped by archival frameworks, and pushes against dominant narratives of history and preservation.
