"Archives are not just a place where information goes to be stagnant, and to be stored, but where it goes to be transformed into new things, and spark new discussion about old ideas and new ideas simultaneously." -Jen Hoyer, volunteer, Interference Archive

Materials in the archive's collection are used in a generative way. In the latest episode of Audio Interference, archive volunteer Jen Hoyer talks about the importance of increasing the online representation of the movement histories that are told through the archive's collection. Jen reflects on the challenges to bring these organizing histories onto a digital sphere when they don't already have a strong online presence. Visit audiointerference.org to tune in!

In this episode, volunteer Jen Hoyer explains how the archive is using donated materials to create an online presence for noteworthy, but digitally absent groups like Sister Serpents. But generating new materials and new discussions is not without a few risks. Stay tuned to find out more.
