Now that the fascists have taken over, what books, academic studies, and pieces of knowledge should take priority in personal/private archival? I'm thinking about what happened in Nazi Germany, especially with the burning of the Institute for Sexual Science(Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) and what was lost completely in the burnings.

Some of us should consider saving stuff digitally or physically.

Any specific ones in mind that are of great importance or influence?

seconding a focus on sexology; we don't need another Institut für Sexualwissenschaft incident.

off the top of my head:

  • The History of Sexuality (Michel Foucault 1976 – 84 + 2018)
  • Transgender Warriors (Leslie Feinberg 1998)
  • Gender Trouble (Judith Butler 1990)
  • Undoing Gender (Judith Butler 2004)
  • Caliban and the Witch (Silvia Federici 2004)
  • Black on Both Sides (C. Riley Snorton 2017)
  • The Stonewall Riots (Marc Stein 2019)

 

including all the works of Judith Butler and Silvia Federici.

more academically:

  • Kinsey Reports; The Kinsey Institute: The First Seventy Years; and any other expansions on the work of the Kinsey Institute
  • Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Healthcare: A Clinical Guide to Preventive, Primary, and Specialist Care (Kristen Eckstrand, Jesse M. Ehrenfeld 2016)

 

you can probably farm the bibilographies on these.

Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.
