The Humanitarian Archive in historical perspective

This session will explore the constitution of a new archive of humanitarian records and how historians develop a synchronous way of engaging with very contemporary sources they are helping to preserve and archive.

The event will include a presentation by the Humanitarian Archivist, Flora Chatt, on ‘The purpose of the archive’. This discussion will be devoted to the development of an archive’s purpose in collecting material. It will set out how gaps are identified and retrospectively filled in both archives that are not in current use and ‘live’ collections of records. We will discuss the effect of engagement with historical research and specific projects on an archive, and how this proactiveness contrasts with the traditional view of the archivist as a passive and neutral figure. This talk will also involve a collections encounter with some relevant objects from the humanitarian archive.
