As part of the series' theme of sustainability, this panel will discuss the sustainability of digitization of archives, the risk of the "digital dark ages," and the challenge of sunsetting digital humanities projects. Lesbian and queer archives, face particular challenges as many exist apart from institutions.
Dr. Julie Podmore of Les archives lesbiennes du Qu茅bec (formerly Traces) and Dr. Elspeth Brown of the ArQuives (formerly the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives) will speak to these challenges.

Dr. Julie Podmore joined Concordia University's Geography Department as a part-time faculty member in 2000 and became an Affiliate Assistant Professor in 2010. From 2011-2015, she was a co-researcher with Diversit茅 sexuelle, vuln茅rabilit茅 et r茅silience, an interdisciplinary research team focusing on sexual minority youth and LGBTQ generations at UQAM. Her sustained research focus has been on the intersections between gender and sexuality in urban space, a perspective reflected in her publications on Montr茅al鈥檚 lesbian spaces and new research on "Queering Canadian suburbs". In addition to lecturing at Concordia, Julie is a tenured professor at John Abbott College and a research associate of the Chaire de recherche sur l鈥檋omophobie.
