Item Open Access Jane Rule and the Archive: New Models for Researching Women’s Lives(2017-05-15) Morra, LindaMarlene Kadar's injunction to expand the conceptual framework of autobiography had implications not only for the study of the genre, but also for research about and by women more generally. The strict boundaries by which autobiography had been governed were thus expanded to include genres that had been more readily accessed by women, not simply a matter of their preference but also the result of restrictions and expectations related to gender. Taking Kadar's work as a cue, this paper calls upon my own investigation of how archival research for women necessitates moving radically beyond formal institutions and beyond understandings of what constitutes an archival document.Item Open Access One Things Leads to Another: Archive, Fragment, Trace(2017-05-15) Celinscak, MarkFor decades it was argued that Canada had no connection to the Holocaust. However, by the end of the war hundreds of Canadians had assisted at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and hundreds more encountered it through informal visits and authorized tours. For many Canadians it became their defining moment of the war. And yet, their stories had been ignored or relegated to a mere footnote in history books. I will make connections between Marlene Kadar's scholarship on the archive, fragment and trace and my own recently published Distance from the Belsen Heap: Allied Forces and the Liberation of a Nazi Concentration Camp (2015). Borrowing ideas from a presentation Marlene and I worked on years ago, I will give credence to three methodological concepts: one thing leads to another; keep the nose to the grindstone; and what goes around comes around.
