"This book would interest those working on archival research, queer history methodologies, and cultural studies. By expanding and contracting our interpretation of archives, the book uses documentary sources to mediate the paradoxes of exploring queer lives. Every chapter is a unique opportunity to reconnect with the challenging, sometimes frustrating, but always gratifying labor of seeking queer and trans traces in documentary sources. <i>Turning Archival</i> can serve as an extensive toolbox with which to navigate the echoes and silences in the archives." - Patricio Simonetto (A Contracorriente) "Marshall and Tortorici masterfully compiled this work by interweaving theoretical discussions with practical examples, which invites not only scholars but also general readers to pick up the book. The editors skillfully incorporate multiple works by authors from different backgrounds to showcase the importance of archival research in uncovering and preserving stories, histories, and herstories of the LGBTQ+ community." - Drew Russell (American Archivist)
