Documenting Feminist Activism addresses the practical and theoretical challenges and advantages of researching, documenting, and archiving recent and contemporary activists in the feminist and queer movements. In the last few decades, the place and practice of activism has shifted from a physical "headquarters" where activists convene to plan and strategize, to the reality where planning happens at various desks and kitchen tables across the country (or world) and activists then convene at one site for an action (the prime example of this being the WTO protest in Seattle in 1999). So much of the work is taking place in the digital environment and/or within smaller do-it-yourself (DIY) and anarchist subcultures where ideas are often shared via zines and other ephemeral materials. The challenge of the archivist and the scholar, whose work is traditionally paper-based, is to keep up with the changing modes of communication of these individuals and organizations and to make sure these activists' work is not left out of the historical record. Activists, archivists, librarians, and scholars address the following issues and topics: the practical material challenges of documenting and archiving contemporary activism; theoretical perspectives and conversations; online communities and communications; "third wave" feminism/youth and queer cultures/subcultures; the move from paper to digital archives and documents; zines; and the work of activists who employ creative/artistic/cultural approaches to work for social justice.

Documenting the Past in Medieval Puglia, 1130-1266 explores the production of historical memory in the region of Puglia after it was subsumed within the new Kingdom of Sicily in 1130. It assesses the significance of the apparent disappearance of more traditional forms of Pugliese historical writing after 1130, and explores the existence of other historical discourses (beyond those solely preserved in the few 'royal-centred' high-status chronicles) which were embedded in surviving local documentation. The volume incorporates an extensive examination of charters and correspondence, an evidence-type yet to be fully utilised for this purpose in the study of medieval Puglia. Closely analysing the corpus of extant Pugliese charters and correspondence for the period of Norman-Staufen rule (1130-1266) in the kingdom reveals the existence of embedded 'histories'.

Ethan Palmer, "The Quantum Hermetica: A Documenting of the Parallels between Hermetic Occult Science and Modern Physics"
English | ISBN: 1723857327 | 2018 | 103 pages | PDF | 890 KB
What do modern physics and ancient Egyptian occultism have in common? The Quantum Hermetica explores this topic. Recent discoveries reveal that space and time emerge from a deeper immaterial level of reality. Quantum cognition suggests that this level of reality is mental. This turns the traditional assumption of scientific materialism on its head, but also opens an interesting rabbit hole.As the Quantum Hermetica documents, the science behind this bears an uncanny resemblance to Hermeticism. The Kybalion, a book published in 1908, provides a comprehensive account of the occult framework of Hermeticism. Only after the fact, more than a century later, is science coming to light that parallels the anachronistic Hermetic teachings in The Kybalion. The Quantum Hermetica documents these parallels, opening up a curious can of worms in the process.

Documenting the World: Film, Photography, and the Scientific Record edited by Gregg Mitman, Kelley Wilder

Imagine the twentieth century without photography and film. Its history would be absent of images that define historical moments and generations: the death camps of Auschwitz, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Apollo lunar landing. It would be a history, in other words, of just artists' renderings and the spoken and written word. To inhabitants of the twenty-first century, deeply immersed in visual culture, such a history seems insubstantial, imprecise, and even, perhaps, unscientific.
