Milli Sessions - International Archives Week

# Milli Sessions - International Archives Week Primary reference: http://milli.link/ Event registration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/international-archives-week-2020-june-8-14-milli-sessions-tickets-107681129156 (Time zone: IST) Location: **Contact organisers - location moved due to some trolls in the meeting today.** This shall be the same for the entire week of event schedule. Hosts, moderators and session leads will set this up 15 minute before the session time. Please join early. Our intent has been for these sessions to be informal (especially the breakout sessions that typically follow a panel) and to nurture conversations around different aspects of archives. You are, of course, welcome to join as many sessions as you'd like. **Schedule repeated below can be used for updates, annotations and moderator inputs during the session and the takeaway notes after. Also to provide post event link updates.** **Table of Contents** [ToC] #### 8 Jun 10:30 // 11:45 - 13:30 ##### Archives in India: Present & Future // Starting up an archive * Chinmay Tumbe (IIM Ahmedabad) * Deepika S (IISc, Bangalore) * Ganeev Dhillon (The Partition Museum, Delhi) * Kishore Satpathy (ISI Kolkata) * Ponnarasu Subramanian (IIT Madras) * Rajarshi Das (Banwarilal Bhalotia College, Asansol) * Shubha Chaudhuri (Archives and Research Centre for Ethnomusicology, AIIS, Delhi) * Siddhi Bhandari / Srijan Mandal (Centre for Public History, Bangalore) * Vrunda Pathare (Godrej Archives, Mumbai) ##### Starting up an archive * Open discussions, moderated by Deepika S. (IISc Archives) *Today’s session provided insights on several archives across the country. Each of the speakers began by describing their respective archives in terms of structure, approach, members, methodology and scope. Questions from the audience largely centred around what it takes to set up an archive, what kind of information and material one needs to be equipped with and what to keep in mind. The value of all material, even the most seemingly insignificant ones, was one crucial point brought up by several archivists as they discussed the use of everything from student yearbooks to balance sheets and small office notes. Methods used to conduct institutional surveys, to compile archival books that serve to visibilise oral histories et cetera, were also brought up. Interestingly, most of the archivists also mentioned the considerable overlap that occurs between archives, as for example, the Godrej Archive which also contains material on recruitments from IIMAhmedabad.* ##### Recordings Audio: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/1-iaw2020-starting_up_an_archive-day_1/GMT20200608-050222_Milli-Netw.m4a Video: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/1-iaw2020-starting_up_an_archive-day_1/GMT20200608-050222_Milli-Netw_1938x1050.mp4 Chatbox Text: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/1-iaw2020-starting_up_an_archive-day_1/GMT20200608-050222_Milli-Netw.txt #### 9 Jun 10:30 // 11:45 - 13:30 ##### Forms of the Archival Object // Revisiting oral histories * Indira Chowdhury (Centre for Public History, Bangalore) * Jaya Ravindran (National Archives of India) * Kamini Sahwney (Museum of Art and Photography, Bangalore) * Roland Wittje (IIT Madras) * **Moderator: Avehi Menon (Sarmaya Arts Foundation, Mumbai)** ##### Revisiting oral histories * Open discussions **moderated by Avehi Menon (Sarmaya Arts Foundation, Mumbai) and Hari Sridhar (Archives at NCBS)** *Moving from archives to the role of museums, our panelists today focused on questions around archival objects, communicating relevance and improving accessibility. Methods of preservation were also discussed, as was the protocol followed by different archivists when processing new material. The second half of the session was an open discussion on oral histories that emphasised on ethical aspects of the practise. Subjectivities of different people, why and how our memories can be selective, as well as the manner in which oral history tends to run against dominant narratives was also central to the conversation.* ##### Recordings Audio: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/2-iaw2020-forms_of_archival_object-day_2/audio_only.m4a Video:https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/2-iaw2020-forms_of_archival_object-day_2/zoom_0.mp4 Chatbox Text: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/2-iaw2020-forms_of_archival_object-day_2/chat.txt #### 10 Jun 10:30 // 11:45 - 13:30 ##### Journey of an Archival Record // Pausing at preservation * Achal Pandya (Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, Bangalore) * M Madhan (Azim Premji University, Bangalore) * Ponnarasu Subramanian (Indian Institute of Technology, Madras) * R Sivapriya (Sahapedia) ##### Pausing at preservation * Open discussions **moderated by Achal Pandya (IGNCA) and Mrinalini Subramani (INTACH-CKP, Bangalore)** *From software frameworks to methods of physical and digital preservation, today’s session delved into the technical side of archiving. Factors of deterioration, both natural (fire, floods, etc) as well as human (war, vandalism, etc) were discussed in detail as were the cumulative effects of pollution, humidity, micro-organisms and more. The conversation then shifted to accessibility for the lay user and how platforms such as Sahapedia help narrativise and annotate archival material.* ##### Recordings Audio: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/3-iaw2020-archival_record-day_3/GMT20200610-050421_Milli-Netw.m4a Video: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/3-iaw2020-archival_record-day_3/GMT20200610-050421_Milli-Netw_1920x1080.mp4 Chatbox Text: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/3-iaw2020-archival_record-day_3/GMT20200610-050421_Milli-Netw.txt #### 11 Jun 10:30 // 11:45 - 13:30 ##### Evidence and truth // On copyright and privacy * Alok Sarin (Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research, Delhi) * Jayashree T (Queer Archive for Memory Reflection and Activism, Bangalore) * Nandini Oza (Oral History Association of India) * Sanjeev Jain (NIMHANS, Bangalore) * Vrunda Pathare (Godrej Archives, Mumbai) ##### Copyright and privacy discussions: * Open discussions **moderated by Divij Joshi** *Today’s first session centred on silences and dilemmas within archival spaces.

Questions from the audience then greatly added to the session, ranging from discussions on Manto, madness and partition to nation building and displacement* ##### Recordings Audio: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/4-iaw2020-evidence_and_truth-day_4/GMT20200611-143334_Internatio.m4a Video: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/4-iaw2020-evidence_and_truth-day_4/GMT20200611-143334_Internatio_1920x1080.mp4 Chatbox Text: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/4-iaw2020-evidence_and_truth-day_4/GMT20200611-143334_Internatio.txt #### 11 Jun 20:00 ##### Forgotten Histories: The Hunt for the virologist, Dorothy Hamre * P. Balaram (IISc/NCBS, Bangalore) * Samantha Meier and Kelly Phillips (Cline Library, Northern Arizona University) *The discussion delved into the search for the woman who discovered the first ever strain of a coronavirus, the infectious agent that is now known for causing a global pandemic. The panelists, who had all directly participated in unearthing all possible information on Hamre so far, shared their journey of discovery with the audience and displayed photographs and records that show proof to Hamre's elusive existence and contributions to the field of virology. The session not only addressed the importance of archiving as a means of reaching Hamre, but also touched on the institutional patriarchal bias that exists in the field.* ##### Recording Audio: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/4-iaw2020-evidence_and_truth-day_4/forgotten_histories-day_4-evening_session/audio_only.m4a Video: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/4-iaw2020-evidence_and_truth-day_4/forgotten_histories-day_4-evening_session/zoom_0.mp4 Chatbox Text: https://iaw2020.milli.test.openrun.net/4-iaw2020-evidence_and_truth-day_4/forgotten_histories-day_4-evening_session/chat.txt #### 12 Jun 10:30 - 12:30 pm // 12:30 - 13:30 ##### Archiving Community Knowledge * Faisal Rehman (Keystone Foundation, Kotagiri) * Heather Goodall (University of Technology, Sydney) * Kirsten Thorpe (University of Technology, Sydney) * Madan Meena (Adivasi Academy, Tejgadh, Gujarat) * Pallav Thudgar (Muskaan, Bhopal) * Ranjani Prasad (Keystone Foundation, Kotagiri) * Rita Banerji (Green Hub, Tezpur) * Sumit Sisodiya (Green Hub, Tezpur) * Surajit Sarkar (Centre for Community Knowledge, Ambedkar University Delhi) * TB Dinesh (Janastu) * Theresa Sainty (UTAS at University of Tasmania) ##### Informal discussion: Community Histories and Participatory Archiving Documenting Community Histories Involving Communities in archiving their own knowledge - Participatory workflows Ethics, Access and Protocols Discussants: * Madhuri Ramesh (Azim Premji University, Bangalore) * Padmini Ray Murray (Design Beku, Bangalore) * Samira Agnihotri (Indian Institute of Sciences, Bangalore) * Sneha PP (Centre for Internet and Society, Bangalore) *Our discussions this morning brought quite a few new ideas to the table.
