Archival silences: Missing, Lost and, Uncreated Archives
: Theorising the silences
Silences only exist when researchers in the archives notice them
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
The ending of silences does not always resolve issues
The marginalised are not the only ones to suffer from silences
Silencing has been part of government’s policies for millennia
The textuality of archives can hide their meaning
The real silence of the archive
