While conventional wisdom holds that archivists should refrain from taking subjective stances in their work, there have been increasing calls in the field to recognize that the historical record from which archives are drawn is far from neutral. How can we expect archivists to remain objective when engaging with politically fraught materials that are potentially held within institutions founded on principles that do not reflect current societal values? CCAHA Director of Preservation Services, Dyani Feige, discusses the importance of recognizing that our own positions impact the work we do in collections fields.
Participatory and community archiving work empowers organizations to collaborate with communities to preserve their unique stories and histories. This approach helps ensure that collections reflect the lived experiences and perspectives of those they represent. This interactive program invites participants to an overview of participatory and community archiving. Discussion will include strategies for getting started or building on the work your organization has done, as well as opportunities to hear from practitioners in the field about community and participatory archiving at their organizations.
This program will cover the role of wet salvage of paper-based collections as part of a larger incident response. After an overview of emergency preparation and response protocols, participants will take on incident response roles and run through a mock-flood scenario. Hands-on and talking through the process, participants will work to salvage and triage a variety of collection items from a pool, including papers, photographs, and bound materials. A post-scenario debrief gives participants the opportunity to review their actions with workshop instructors. Workshop attendance will be limited due to the hands-on nature of the program.
