Making a case for archiving as an active, creative and critical process that promotes ecological stewardship

Published with Making Public Series.

Exploring the intersection of archival practice and environmental sustainability, Green Archiving offers a radical reimagination of archives as ecological entities. A part of the Making Public series--which investigates the public, or the civil domain where space, knowledge, values and commodities are shared--the volume critiques conventional recordkeeping methods, which often perpetuate resource-intensive and preservationist paradigms, and introduces the concept of green archiving--a framework that integrates sustainable technologies, practices and philosophies into the curation, preservation and dissemination of knowledge. It draws on speculative theory, eco-criticism, software studies, feminist studies as well as Indigenous and Global South practices and knowledge to propose new imaginaries for the future of archiving in the face of climate crisis. Through case studies, critical essays, interviews and speculative designs, Green Archiving fosters a dialog that balances memory and preservation with ecological stewardship for future generations.
