Abstract
Through preservation of both censorship documentation from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) as well as narrative materials from incarcerated people (including art, poetry, cards, oral-history videos and ephemera) this project explores digital archives as sites of chronicling a broad body of "neo-slave narratives." Centering materials from incarcerated trans women, I explore the possibilities of "liberated" archives and ways in which critical trans politics inform questions of citation, metadata, permissions, and accountable collaboration. This demo includes submissions from incarcerated people, censorship documentation, and a preview of the Omeka archive.
