Highsmith ABOUT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, PRESERVATION DIRECTORATE, CONSERVATION DIVISION The Library of Congress, the nation’s oldest federal cultural institution, is the world’s preeminent reservoir of knowledge, providing unparalleled resources to Congress and the American people. Founded in 1800, the Library seeks to further human understanding and wisdom by providing access to knowledge through its magnificent collections. The Library’s collections capture and share the world’s knowledge in almost all of the world’s languages, conveying America’s intellectual and cultural creativity in many formats. Many of the Library’s rich resources and treasures may also be accessed through the Library’s award-winning web site www.loc.gov. The Conservation Division (CD) ensures that the Library’s universal collection of knowledge and creativity will still exist for future generations. The Conservation Division provides treatment and preventive care for rare and valuable special research collections that are high priority, high risk, and needed for special uses (such as exhibitions, research, or digitization). The Conservation Division staff conduct and publish research; create new solutions for assessment, housing, and care of collections and potential acquisitions; train staff, students, the public, and professionals in a variety of preventive techniques; prevent and respond to disasters; prepare materials for moves, digitization, exhibitions, and loans; monitor, evaluate, fine-tune, and plan storage spaces; and stabilize and treat threatened special collections items. A description of the Conservation Division activities and ready-to-use guidance may be found at: www.loc.gov/preserv/conserv.html. ABOUT THE FOUNDATION CENTER Established in 1956, and today supported by close to 550 foundations, the Foundation Center is the nation’s leading authority on philanthropy, connecting nonprofits and the grantmakers supporting them to tools they can use and information they can trust. The Center maintains the most comprehensive database on U.S. grantmakers and their grants—a robust, accessible knowledge bank for the sector. It also operates research, education, and training programs designed to advance philanthropy at every level. Thousands of people visit the Center’s web site each day, and are served in its five regional library/learning centers and its network of more than 400 funding information centers located in public libraries, community foundations, and educational institutions in every U.S. state and beyond.

Access the Internet with NYU WiFi SSID nyuguest login guest2 password erspasta RADICAL ARCHIVES is a two-day conference organized around the notion of archiving as a radical practice, including: archives of radical politics and practices; archives that are radical in form or function; moments or contexts in which archiving in itself becomes a radical act; and considerations of how archives can be active in the present, as well as documents of the past and scripts for the future. The conference is organized around four threads of radical archival practice: Archive and Affect, or the embodied archive; Archiving Around Absence, or reading for the shadows; Archives and Ethics, or stealing from and for archives; and Archive as Constellation, or archive as method, medium, and interface.
