As part of International Archives Week 2021 (www.milli.link/iaw2021), Milli, a consortium of individuals and communities interested in the nurturing of archives, is creating an online resource with a list of literary works that engage with archives.
What are your favourite works of fiction and poetry that refer to/feature archives, or help us reimagine, question, or simply wonder about archives and archiving? Help us build this resource by telling us about it!
We are looking for:
- Creative literary works that deal with archives and archiving in their very subject matter (even if not in a literal or obvious sense), rather than works that are only based on historical research.
- Works in any genre, any form, whether it is a short story, poem, graphic novel, and so on, published in print or online.
- Works in various languages and from different countries, especially from South Asia.
