Archiving for Nonhumans” workshop brings together scholars from various disciplines to discuss the importance and challenges of writing about and archiving for nonhumans. Multi-species, natural environment such as rivers, forests, and oceans, and built environment such as dams and infrastructure have become popular and productive topics for historians and humanities scholars. Does it reflect changes in the kind of materials we collect? How do we archive materials that do not fit into traditional archives? What is the politics of archiving for nonhumans? How does our archiving practices shape our understanding of the human-nonhuman relationship?

Organized by EnviroLab at Claremont McKenna and Co-Sponsored by The Gould Center for Humanistic Studies (Claremont McKenna College), The Roberts Environmental Center (Claremont McKenna College), History Department (Claremont McKenna College), Environmental Analysis at The Claremont Colleges and The Asian Library at The Claremont Colleges Library
