The Huntley Conference returned after a brief break to celebrate two major milestones: 50 years of the Bogle L’Ouverture Bookshop and the 20th anniversary of the Huntley Archive. Organised by the Friends of the Huntley Archives at the London Metropolitan Archives (FHALMA), the conference upheld its two-decade legacy of animating Black British heritage. Under the theme “The Power of Black African Caribbean Archives,” the event on Saturday, 29th November, continued its robust formula of recognition, preservation, and critical engagement.
The conference has served as an “intergenerational forum dedicated to community knowledge production, archival research and cultural memory” (from the programme). It consistently challenges the notion of archives as inert, inaccessible relics. Instead, it actively uses the materials deposited by Eric and Jessica Huntley twenty years ago to represent themes of “critical reflection and public history- making,” essential to ongoing struggles for liberation.
