SUMMARY:Keynote: Dr. Stanley H. Griffin
DESCRIPTION:Register in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqf-qtqDspGNWbaX3UrpyM3acaXhfJC4Aj\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\n\n\nTitle:\n“Where Records Dance\, Sing and Talk: Exploring Caribbean Record Forms and Archival Studies” \nAbstract:\nThe current world pandemic has\, intriguingly\, reenergized and reinforced traditional Caribbean cultural ways of creating information\, communicating news and sharing experiences. In many ways\, these forms of expressing ‘communal self’\, e.g. our carnivals and festivals\, rhythms and songs\, accents and languages\, have fed stereotypes of the Caribbean people and societies as exotic\, playful\, and trivial. These expressions\, notwithstanding\, emerged out of the ruptures of the plantation\, the formative colonial infrastructure that shaped Caribbean identities and nationhood. \nYet as expressions of societal documentation\, there is a sharp dichotomy between what is considered archival versus cultural in the Caribbean. Our archives\, i.e. institutions\, materials and practices\, mirror the colonial hegemony that demarcates our various territories. British\, Dutch\, French\, and Spanish recordkeeping traditions\, along with global northern agreements\, dictate what is recorded and deemed archival today in the region. Thus\, the creativity and memory that define the Caribbean may neither make its way to audiovisual\, digital\, paper forms nor be ‘preserved’ in archival precepts. If Caribbean records dance\, sing and talk\, what should ‘the archive’ look like? How can Caribbean-trained archivists ensure their repositories are as dynamic as their current societies and not just storehouses of past coloniality. What particular epistemologies must a Caribbean Archival Studies emphasize? In considering the Caribbean cultural as Caribbean-archival\, we consider what contributions a Caribbean-oriented Archival Studies can offer the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nStanley  H.  Griffin holds  a  BA  (Hons.)  in History\, and  a  PhD  in  Cultural  Studies  (with  High Commendation)\, from the Cave Hill Barbados Campus of The University of the West Indies\, and an  MSc  in  Archives  and  Records Management (Int’l)\, University of Dundee\, Scotland. Formerly the Archivist-in-Charge of the UWI Archives\, he is Lecturer in Archival Studies and coordinates the Graduate Programme in Archives and Records Management in the Department of Library and Information Studies\,  UWI  Mona  Campus\,  Jamaica.  \nStanley’s research interests include Multiculturalism in Antigua and the Eastern Caribbean\, the Cultural Dynamics of intra-Caribbean migrations\,  Archives  in  the  constructs  of  Caribbean  culture\,  and  community  archives in  the Caribbean. His most recent publications include Decolonizing the Caribbean Record: An Archives Reader (Litwin\, 2018)\, a co-edited work with Jeannette Bastian and John Aarons\, several book chapters including Archival Silences: Missing\, Lost and Uncreated Archives (2021) and journal articles including the Journal of Popular Culture (2021)\, International Journal on Information\, Diversity and Inclusion (2021)\, and the Journal of West Indian Literature (2021)

SUMMARY:Panel: Emotional Dimensions of Research and Archival Work
DESCRIPTION:PANEL: Emotional Dimensions of Research and Archival Work\nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://ubc.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5cod–hqDwiHNYYQaMP1CiymsFcBUjecKX- \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nSpeakers:\n\nJennifer Douglas\, University of British Columbia\nAlex Alisauskas\, University of Calgary\nElizabeth Bassett\, University of British Columbia\nTed Lee\, University of British Columbia\n\nAbstract:\nThis panel presents findings on a series of 29 interviews conducted with working archivists on the emotional dimensions of archives and situates these in a broader discussion about the emotional dimensions of research inquiry. The interviews were carried out in the summer and fall of 2019 as part of a project\, funded (2018-21) by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (Canada)\, on the relationship between grief and other emotions and archival work. Alongside these interviews\, the project also included interviews with bereaved parents about their recordkeeping practices and archival research in bereavement collections\, or collections that are created in large part in response to a grief experience. The panel will focus on key themes that arise in the interviews with archivists\, but will also more broadly explore the complicated\, relational ethics of research on intimate and personal topics. Focusing on ideas about vulnerability\, intimacy\, friendship and compassion in research and archiving\, panelists will leave time to discuss research experiences with the audience.

SUMMARY:Panel: Know Before You Go: Lived Experiences of Working with Archival Donors
DESCRIPTION:PANEL: Know Before You Go: Lived experiences of working with archival donors\nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://umassd.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJModu6srT8sEtXM-Fx-kWxRYIFiBrtuIUEv \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nSpeakers:\n\nChristian Dupont\, Burns Librarian & Associate University Librarian for Special Collections\, Boston College\nAmber Moore\, Archivist\, Radcliffe Institute\, Harvard University\nSonia Pacheco\, Archivist\, Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese-American Archives\, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth\nKenvi Phillips\, Curator for Race and Ethnicity\, Radcliffe Institute\, Harvard University\n\nAbstract:\nItza Carbajal recently argued that it is critical for the archival profession to recognize that there is “…an explicit bond between archivist and donor\, one which is centered  on mutual understanding and empathy”\, what she calls an “ethics of care approach”. This approach refocuses the archival process from the ‘what’ we acquire\, to ‘whom’ we work with\, and this shift is important\, as the field continues to move beyond its traditional practices\, which have led to historic distrust of institutions. This distrust can be attributed to the reality that archives have largely been created by whites\, to collect the history of whites. While speakers acknowledge that donor relationships can often be an ‘art’ rather than a formulaic science\, the reality is that relatively few archival graduate programs in North America include concrete information on this aspect of archival work. While Carbajal’s work adds substantial content to this discussion\, there is negligible literature on the skills archivists use to create and sustain donor relationships\, yet this is work that is regularly done by practicing archivists. Therefore\, one of the aims of this panel is to call more attention to the skills that are needed by archivists as they engage in donor relationships. The topics covered during this session\, which will have brief presentations\, a discussion amongst the presenters and plenty of time for Q&A\, will include:  strategies for building relationships and trust with donors\, and how these relationships have provided comfort\, clarification\, and context between the archivist and the records creators; how do we balance archival timelines and needs with the expectations and needs of the donor; and examples where the archivist was explicitly excluded from conversations with donors\, and where the donor was identified as being ‘politically’ important to the parent institution\, and the difficulties these situations posed. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Secret Recordkeeping Agents: Supporting Participatory and Radical Recordkeeping in Statutory Structures
DESCRIPTION:ROUNDTABLE: Secret Recordkeeping Agents: Supporting participatory and radical recordkeeping in statutory structures\nRegister for this event here: https://forms.gle/rhcL7vV8BRqdAWH49 \nSpeakers:\n\nJoanne Evans\, Monash University\nRebecka Sheffield\nMichaela Hart\n\nAccessibility details:\nWe will provide accessibility guidelines for those presenting their stories using visual material. \nAbstract:\nCalling all archival and recordkeeping scholars investigating participatory recordkeeping problems and solutions in unexpected or unfamiliar places. Are you often the sole archival and recordkeeping voice at the table? Do you find yourself advocating for a range of stakeholder accountabilities\, evidence and memory management needs to be factored into frameworks\, processes and systems? Are you concerned with the impacts of digitization and datafication on government and community services? Do you believe that good recordkeeping must lie at the heart of citizen/person/human-centred services and that participatory archival minds must be part of their design? \nWhether located in academia or practicing in the field\, join us for a roundtable discussion and policy sprint aimed at developing a participatory recordkeeping research\, education and advocacy agenda for public and community sector services. \nKey questions: \n\nHow do we bring critical and community archival mindsets to bear on the digital challenges of public and community sector recordkeeping?\nHow do we address the imbalance of recordkeeping power between the citizen and the state?\nWhat role does recordkeeping need to play in protecting human rights\, and upholding transparency and accountability as data-driven and algorithmic technologies transform public and community services?\nWhat are the recordkeeping frameworks and infrastructure to achieve that?\n\nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? No
