Moving Forward beyond IF 2020 – 2024: Legacy and Findings

Imagining Futures has now moved onto its next phase after 4 dynamic years of building a Network with partners from around the world, whose energy, creativity and passion have demonstrated the diversity and power of archival practices and the critical need for them to be egalitarian. They have showcased the multiple ways this can be achieved.

The projects and initiatives begun through IF – presented here – continue to develop with an extensive legacy. Materials and findings are still emerging – and can be found across several platforms and publications – we encourage you to visit these, to share ideas and build on the inspirations:
