We are pleased to present the full program for the online conference, “Resilient Archives, Resilient Communities”, taking place on December 5, 6 and 7, 2025. You will find the full conference schedule of keynotes and panels here, along with presentation abstracts and speaker biographies.
Featuring 7 keynotes, 30+ speakers, and 9 panels
that center the work and perspectives of archivists, memory workers and
cultural stewards in Palestine and Lebanon, including keynotes by Mohamed Hannoush of the Gaza Municipal Archives and Basma Chebani, President of the Lebanese Library Association; panels on Fighting Scholasticide & Memorializing Martyrdom in Palestine and Fighting Erasure: Cases from Palestine to North America/Turtle Island; and presentations on Heritage under Fire: Damage Assessment of Vernacular Architecture in South Lebanon and From Threat to Protection: The Land Authority’s Strategy for Safeguarding Institutional Archives.
Join us as we build community, strengthen networks, and fight erasure
together. Through this conference, we are highlighting local voices in
international debates on transitional memory, digital archiving in
conflict zones, and community-centered models of heritage so we can
together contribute to a broader global shift toward ethical, equitable,
and community-embedded digital preservation.
