The East Midlands Transgender Archiving Network was set up with the long term aim of producing an oral archive of trans histories from the East Midlands area. Over the past year a series of events have been run with the aim of exploring different aspects and considerations when producing an archive.
This event will focus on politics and archiving. Two invited guests with knowledge in this area will join members of the public to discuss the subject.
The discussion workshop will be held in Nottingham Central Library, which is full accessable.
