Archival themes and materials can be found in surprising places, including bestselling horror, dystopia, and post-apocalyptic novels that at first glance have nothing to do with archives. The speakers in this session show that even in a haunted hotel, a gray dystopia, or a Biblical catastrophe, one can find archives, archival material, and the historical record peeking through and influencing events in ways both obvious and subtle. 

Combs: M-O-O-N, That Spells Archives! Archival Material in Stephen King’s "The Stand
Radick: You've Always Been the Caretaker: Archives as a Destructive Force in Stephen King's "The Shining"
Tansey: Back and Back and Back: Memories vs. Records in Lois Lowry’s "The Giver"
