Archives contribute to and suffer from the climatic changes that have resulted from fossil fuel culture, deep earth extraction, plastics proliferation, and chemical applications. Panelists address theoretical and practical approaches to archives of the Anthropocene, the current geological era in which humans are the dominant source of change on our planet, and will seek to form interdisciplinary understandings of the relationship between the archives and this geologic-social era.
