Turning Archival : The Life of the Historical in Queer Studies
The contributors to Turning Archival trace the rise of “the archive” as an object of historical desire and study within queer studies and examine how it fosters historical imagination and knowledge.Highlighting the growing significance of the archival to LGBTQ scholarship, politics, and everyday life, they draw upon accounts of queer archival encounters in institutional, grassroots, and everyday repositories of historical memory.The contributors examine such topics as the everyday life of marginalized queer immigrants in New York City as an archive; secondhand vinyl record collecting and punk bootlegs; the self-archiving practices of grassroots lesbians; and the decolonial potential of absences and gaps in the colonial archives through the life of a suspected hermaphrodite in colonial Guatemala.Engaging with archives from Africa to the Americas to the Arctic, this volume illuminates the allure of the archive, reflects on that which resists archival capture, and outlines the stakes of queer and trans lives in the archival turn.

How can one pay with a collectible coin?
One can pay with a collectible coin by finding a willing buyer who is interested in the specific coin and is willing to exchange goods or services for it. The value of the coin will need to be agreed upon by both parties, and the transaction can be completed by physically exchanging the coin for the agreed-upon value. Alternatively, the coin can be sold to a dealer or collector for its market value, and the proceeds can then be used to make a purchase. It's important to note that some collectible coins may have a higher value as a collector's item than their face value, so it's important to research and understand the value of the coin before attempting to use it as payment.
