Abstract
An affective archival encounter with a hair likely belonging to Victoria Schneider, a trans woman, sex worker, and activist, prompts the author's exploration of affect and embodiment in trans archives. This artifact animates how archives can value trans bodies in their centrality, affect, and power by embracing bodily traces, making visible what is absent, and giving due consideration to capturing bodily experience.
