The Global Archivalities Network is a project launched by Randolph Head (University of California, Riverside), Arndt Brendecke (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) and Hilde de Weerdt (Kings College London). We seek to connect and recruit humanists in all disciplines interested in the comparative history of archives before the modern era. The founders specialize in what may be called early modernity in various parts of the world, but we welcome those working on all forms of systematic record-keeping in any period.
Please contact Randy Head (randolph.head@ucr.edu) for further information.
A first event, entitled Global Archivalities: A Conceptual Workshop, will take place (with attendance via Adobe Connect) on May 7, 2013 from 9-11 AM (PDT).
