Wagner's talk, “'As Usual You Have Produced Yet Another Installment Worthy of Archiving': The Persistence of Obsolescence in Queer Information & Media Technologies," uses archival object case studies to call attention to how data exists within the objects of queer history, how they represent the circulation & use of information within queer communities in their historical moments, & how they pose challenges to ensuring long-term preservation.
