Acid Free, Issue #15: Sound

Submit by December 01, 2024

About Acid Free
Acid Free, the thematic online magazine of the Los Angeles Archivists Collective, seeks to be a smart, complicated, non-academic forum for a variety of voices and issues in our field, to ground archivists locally and regionally while also keeping an eye toward larger conversations and landscapes.

About the Topic
“Sound” can be broadly interpreted through an archival lens. Possible topics may include oral histories, time-based media, music, storytelling, playlist-ing, DJ culture, field recordings, and the absence of sound: archival silence(s), hearing impairment, silent film collections.

Submission Guidelines
Acid Free is open to articles that highlight documents, collections, or exhibitions; share projects and stories; critically examine archival issues and practices; explore local landmarks; or address other theme-related archival subjects. Articles can be any length, but we recommend keeping it under 1,000 words. We are a highly visual publication; please include images in .jpg format to illustrate your story.

In addition to the text + visuals, an audio file may also be submitted to compliment the writing.

Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis utilizing the following criteria: Hook, clarity, and relevance to the theme.
