SUMMARY:Panel: The Innovation and Reform of Archival Education Against the Backdrop of "The New Liberal Arts" in China
DESCRIPTION:PANEL: The innovation and reform of archival education against the backdrop of “the new liberal arts” in China\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://lsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUtd-CvqjgvEtGfc8ZYb9AuLaARXQeK1zBy \nSpeakers:\n\nZhiying Lian\, School of Information Resource Management\, Renmin University\, China\nWenhong Zhou\, School of Public Administration\, Sichuan University\, China\nYue Ren\, School of Information Management\, Heilongjiang University\, China\nYu Cao\, Management School of Tianjin Normal University\, China\nXiangnv Wang\, Department of Library\, Information and Archival Studies\, Shanghai University China\nLanlan Zhu\, School of Information Management\, Zhengzhou University of Aeronautics\, China\n\nAbstract:\nThe grand plan of “the new liberal arts” was proposed by the Ministry of Education of China in 2018\, aiming to integrate sci-tech revolution with humanities and social sciences education and to reform traditional humanities and social sciences. Against the backdrop of “the new liberal arts”\, many Chinese universities have taken measures to reform their archival education. In this panel\, the faculty from six universities in China will share the measures they have taken to reform archival education. \nRenmin University mainly focuses on the curricula reform. The issues including why initiated the curricula reform\, what are the characteristics of the new curricula system and what challenges for archival education the reform has brought about will be discussed. \nSichuan University has launched a teaching reform project called Future Archives lab. The issues including how the new liberal arts is understood in the teaching practice of archival science in Sichuan University; what innovative teaching activities are designed; what are the results of the teaching reform\, and what implications could be for archival education will be talked. \nHeilongjiang University will share their experience in mentoring student innovation projects and thus cultivating students’ innovation abilities. \nTianjin Normal University will demonstrate the reform of “archives compilation course”. This course reform takes the cultivation of practical abilities as its goal and storytelling as its education point. They have reformed the course from three levels: concept\, contents and methods. \nShanghai University will show how they use the project “Memory of Shanghai University” (“Shangda Memory “for short) to conduct archival practice teaching. \nZhengzhou University of Aeronautics will explain their virtual simulation experiment of archive exhibition which reproduces the interactive and gamified archive display scene\, constructs archive exhibition resources with ideological and political connotation\, restores the whole process of archive exhibition and its teaching requirements.

SUMMARY:Keynote: Syma Tariq
DESCRIPTION:Keynote: Syma Tariq\n\n\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMkceqtrjgvGdN3gcCNutA8nAsT99Ucy6eT\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\nListening after colonial rule and erasure: partition and the oral archive\nThe boom in oral testimony relating to experiences of the 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent has followed decades of silence on the topic as well as the destruction/removal/ongoing concealment of official records. This burgeoning oral archival landscape brings up an opportunity to question  how history is made through the collection and preservation of individual narratives in the postcolonised present. Departing from the historical erasure instituted from 1947 onwards\, this lecture delves into what it means to listen to such voices after colonial rule and division\, and some of the challenges that arise from engaging with the archives of partition and the creation of India and Pakistan. I will speak about what I tentatively term as partition’s sonic condition\, which through the archives propagates certain norms of legibility and silences through practices of memory-making and preservation. \n\n\nBio:\n\nSyma Tariq is a PhD student\, writer and radio producer. Her doctoral research – Partition as a sonic condition: listening through the postcolonised archive – is being undertaken at the Centre for Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP)\, University of the Arts London. It focuses on the discursive and temporal separations embedded in histories of the 1947 partition of ‘British India’ through sonic-archival forms and processes. The impact of colonial division on historical destruction and on listening is a key concern for her practice. Syma holds a Masters in History of Political Thought from the University of Sussex and a BA (Hons) in Journalism and Contemporary History from Queen Mary University of London. She is a recipient of an AHRC TECHNE award.

SUMMARY:Panel: The Digital Records Curation Programme
DESCRIPTION:PANEL: The Digital Records Curation Programme\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0ocOyurjksGNweEvsNaQnVWeZ8IJPKO2dI \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nSpeakers:\n\nJuliet A. Erima – Moi University\, Kenya\nTshepho L. Mosweu – University of Botswana\nThatayaone Segaetsho – University of Botswana\nForget Chaterera-Zambuko – National University of Science and Technology\, Zimbabwe\nVusi Tsabedze – University of South Africa\nMakutla Mojapelo – University of South Africa\n\nAbstract:\nThe importance and need for digital curation has increased significantly in recent years owing to the myriad of risks facing digital assets\, which include problems of hardware and software obsolescence\, media fragility\, rapid technological developments\, and lack of sufficient metadata. Additionally\, digital records face risks of improper handling\, corruption and alteration\, unauthorized access\, accidental erasure\, among other problems. These issues necessitate continuous discussions amongst information professionals including records managers and archivists on how best they can be circumvented in the face of changing technologies. Hence\, digital curation has gained world-wide acceptance and recognition today as a sound strategy for ensuring continued accessibility of digital assets. I therefore propose a panel for the discussion of issues surrounding digital curation\, which will include sharing of case studies from different countries and organizations around the globe. The proposed panel discussion will provide a forum for digital curation experts\, researchers and information practitioners to share knowledge and shape the digital curation agenda for the future\, including review of the current digital records curation curriculum. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes

SUMMARY:Workshop: How to Integrate Computational Thinking into Archival Studies Curricula
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP: How to Integrate Computational Thinking into Archival Studies Curricula\nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://zoom.us/j/96396496545?pwd=eWJ2LzM4WXUyeEJQK2xqcktsakswUT09 \nMeeting ID: 963 9649 6545 \nPasscode: 348367 \nSpeakers:\n\nRichard Marciano\, College of Information Studies\, University of Maryland\nSarah Buchanan\, School of Information Science and Learning Technologies\, University of Missouri\nKaren F. Gracy\, School of Information\, Kent State University\nJoshua Kitchens\, Archival Studies Program\, Clayton State University\n\nAccessibility details:\nLive captioning where possible. \nAbstract:\nThe CT-LASER+ Project\, with educational leaders from the U. Maryland\, U. Missouri\, Kent State U.\, and Clayton State U.\, aims to develop an online national collaborative network for integrating computational thinking (CT) into library and archival education and practice. This IMLS-funded project brings together educators\, practitioners\, and researchers to design pedagogical tools and resources that archival educators can use to introduce graduate students to computational science principles and practices. The CT approach encourages archivists to break down large-scale digital records challenges into manageable components and create solutions that combine archival data and code to create accessible archival records. \nEducators involved with the project will present their experiences designing courses\, learning objectives\, and activities to incorporate computational science principles and practices into graduate archival studies courses including introductory/foundational courses\, archival description\, digital preservation/curation\, and digital humanities. In addition to sharing their stories\, the educators will engage with participants to help them brainstorm ways that computational thinking can be adopted by other educators. The workshop also aims to generate a list of requirements and needed resources to successfully integrate computational thinking into the mainstream of archival pedagogy at the course level and the program level. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes. Presentations can be recorded; other parts of session (discussion/brainstorming in breakout rooms will not be).

Para esto se exponen dos trabajos que abordan de forma general las tradiciones archivísticas en América Latina y la investigación en el área en Iberoamérica con el fin de plantear a los asistentes un panorama general. A su vez se presentan dos estudios de caso relacionados con la gestión documental y los archivos orales y comunitarios. Esta muestra incluye trabajos realizados desde cuatro latitudes diferentes: España\, Chile\, Colombia y Nueva York que ratifican el compromiso con el desarrollo archivístico disciplinar y aplicado. \n  \nResúmenes de las cuatro comunicaciones: \nTradiciones archivísticas en América Latina. María Cristina Betancur. \nAmérica Latina ha recibido influencias de diferentes tradiciones archivísticas a lo largo de su historia. Estas influencias han moldeado la concepción de los archivos en la actualidad y han orientado las prácticas archivísticas que se llevan a cabo en esta región. Entre estas tradiciones se puede enumerar\, la tradición archivística española durante el período colonial hispano; las tradiciones europeas que relacionan los archivos con el altar de la nación en el siglo XIX; el Records Management norteamericano a mediados del siglo XX y recientemente la tradición de continuidad australiana\, entre otras. Se presenta un breve recorrido por el desarrollo de la tradición archivística latinoamericana y algunos ejemplos por países. \nCaracterización de la investigación archivística en Iberoamérica: \nDesafíos y proyecciones. Alejandra Santelices \nSe presenta un panorama de la investigación archivística iberoamericana\, centrado en el análisis de la producción científica registrada en las bases de datos Web of Science Core Collection y Scopus en el período 2001-2020. A partir de una investigación con diseño no experimental\, descriptivo longitudinal\, que utiliza metodología mixta\, se indaga en las tendencias de investigación\, utilizando técnicas descriptivas y bibliométricas para dimensionar los procesos de producción de conocimiento en archivística. Adicionalmente\, desde la tradición cualitativa\, se busca conocer las principales líneas de investigación que se han desarrollado en la disciplina\, a partir del análisis de contenido cualitativo de los estudios publicados en ambas bases de datos. Los principales resultados apuntan a establecer la geografía de publicación de la producción científica iberoamericana\, los hábitos de publicación de la comunidad de investigadores\, las tendencias en materia de comunicación científica\, la forma en que se llevan a cabo los procesos de colaboración científica\, el peso de la investigación iberoamericana en el contexto global y los principales objetos de estudio abordados. De esta forma\, se pretende dimensionar cuáles son los desafíos que se presentan en materia de investigación científica en archivística y proyectar las posibilidades de colaboración científica en el contexto iberoamericano. \nGestión de documentos orientada a la continuidad sostenible del negocio. Fátima Rodríguez \nBajo la hipótesis de que la gestión de documentos es estratégica para la continuidad del negocio y la sostenibilidad de las organizaciones en entornos digitales y cambiantes\, se profundizará en el estudio interdisciplinar de la dirección estratégica de las organizaciones y la dirección de proyectos\, para plantear propuestas técnicas en las que el diseño y la gestión de los documentos se orienten a la consecución eficiente de los objetivos organizacionales\, desde la perspectiva de la continuidad del negocio y su sostenibilidad. Se espera poder consolidar los datos de esta investigación en una metodología\, un modelo de información o un conjunto de directrices para la gestión de documentos de las organizaciones orientada a la continuidad sostenible del negocio. \nAyuda Mutua Queer en el marco de COVID. Oscar Zamora Flores. \nDurante la pandemia\, las redes queer en Nueva York se han movilizado para apoyar a sus comunidades.

SUMMARY:Short Papers: Policing and Protest
DESCRIPTION:SHORT PAPERS: THEME – POLICING AND PROTEST\nChair: Allan Martell \nPlease use this link to register for this session: https://lsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcpc-6prj4iGdxHwN6CAw7rsCoMteRfCmTK \n  \nPapers:\nDon’t Use My Assault to Protect Racist Police Practice: A Theoretical Framework for Understanding the Ideological Connections Between Record-Keeping Practices in Gang Databases and Sexual Assault Reports \nSpeakers:\nSydney Triola \nAccessibility details:\nI am happy to maximize the accessibility of my session\, just not sure/clear what resources are compatible with my computer. \nAbstract:\nIn this paper\, I will utilize the information life cycle from information studies to juxtapose law enforcement’s sexual assault record-keeping practices with law enforcement gang database record-keeping practices\, in order to reveal the epistemological values embedded in police record-keeping practices. I find that sexual assault record-keeping practices highlight systematic patterns of police under-reporting these crimes\, especially when the victim is from a marginalized community. Contrarily\, I find that gang database record-keeping practices encourage over-reporting individuals who are often only included in these criminal databases as a result of racial profiling in low-income communities\, and do not exhibit any evidence of posing a dangerous threat to the public. This juxtaposition reveals the true epistemological values of record-keeping in law enforcement: the reinforcement of the Black Brute Caricature\, which poses Black men as an inherent threat to White women’s safety. This paper ends with a set of theoretical assumptions that researchers working with these populations can utilize to avoid perpetuating this adversarial mythology of the Black Brute Caricature. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes \n  \nWhat Matters to Archives? Preliminary survey results of archivists and archival scholars on institutional responses to 2020 BLM calls for social justice \nSpeakers:\n\nSumayya Ahmed\, Simmons University\nRachael Clemens\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\nAngela Murillo\, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis\n\nAbstract:\nIn April 2021\, during the waning days of the trial of the police officer who murdered George Floyd\, we surveyed professionals in the fields of Libraries\, Archives\, and Museums (LAMs) in order to capture their voices and document reactions to the events that had been put into motion since Floyd’s death. We asked survey participants to reflect upon and consider observed occurrences or incidences in their workplace and profession that they believed were galvanized by what we termed the catalytic incidents of 2020 (e.g.\, the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd) and subsequent calls for social justice by those protesting under the Black Lives Matter (BLM) banner. We asked if these events motivated changes in their workplace and/or professional organization\, what changes occurred\, and who initiated those changes (i.e.\, organization\, upper management\, etc.). \nThe online survey was distributed across multiple LAMs-related listservs\, and we received a high number of responses from archivists and archival scholars (47 percent of respondents who provided their professional affiliation). This may reflect the proactive engagement of the archives field with social justice issues predating the events of 2020 (for example: Harris\,2007; Jimerson\, 2007; Gilliland\, 2011; Duff et al.\, 2013; Ramirez\, 2015; Punzalan and Caswell\, 2016; Sutherland\, 2017; Wallace\, 2017; Hughes-Watkins\, 2018; Drake\, 2019). \nThis paper presents preliminary findings of a subset of data collected with particular attention to the open-ended and qualitative responses. It offers us an opportunity to look at the reflections and experiences of archivists and archival scholars surrounding the 2020 BLM protests and ongoing calls for social justice. These responses document narratives of engagement and crisis management\, stories of discouragement and frustration\, as well as visions of change and growth. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes

SUMMARY:Short Papers: Cultural and Historical Studies
DESCRIPTION:SHORT PAPERS: THEME – CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL STUDIES\nChair: Jennifer Douglas \nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://ubc.zoom.us/meeting/register/u50pfu2qrjgtEt1HUzFAL6gpeHnLnAXAG5Kw \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n  \nPapers:\n  \nSituating Archives in South Asia Studies \nSpeakers:\nHenria Aton (Information\, University of Toronto) \nAbstract:\nThis presentation draws from the first chapter of my dissertation\, entitled “Tamil in the Multiverse: Power\, Memory\, and Loss in Contemporary Sri Lankan Archives”. Drawing on Michelle Caswell’s article criticizing the neglect of archival studies scholarship by scholars of the humanities interested in the ever-abstract “The Archive\,” this presentation offers a double critique. First\, scholars of South Asia who have written about archives without citing and/or not acknowledging the abundance of relevant archival studies scholarship are damaging their own ability to think differently and beyond disciplinary boundaries about colonialism\, nationalism\, and knowledge production. Second\, archival studies scholarship (with some notable exceptions) has also failed to engage with South Asia\, a vast place rich in archives and archival histories that transcend borders and holds enormous theoretical and practical value. This presentation engages with the double critique by tracking the entwined histories of archival science and South Asia studies (area studies). I will present my preliminary analysis of The Indian Archives\, a journal published by the National Archives of India after independence. I argue that The Indian Archives offers a new perspective about archival science\, one that troubles binary narratives about the colonizer vs. the colonizers and the global north vs. the global north. \n  \nDeserters\, Stowaways\, and Malafide Seamen: The Records Continuum of the 1930 Merchant Seamen Census \nSpeakers:\nJohnathan Thayer\, Graduate School of Library and Information Studies\, Queens College\, City University of New York \nAbstract:\nSince its inception in 1790\, the enumeration of people via the mechanism of the U.S. census has influenced federal and local government resource allocation. This paper proposes to examine the extraordinary 1930 U.S. Merchant Seamen Census\, which attempted to classify every merchant sailor in every major U.S. port within the context of increasingly restrictive immigration legislation positioned against a perceived “alien seamen” crisis that brought intense scrutiny to U.S. ports\, merchant and passenger ships\, and foreign sailors. \nMerchant seamen\, because of their persistent transience\, “bluewater masculinity\,”\nand extreme multiculturalism\, have always been perceived as inherently alien\, and therefore have constantly posed challenges to the boundaries of U.S. citizenship. During the years between the Immigration Act of 1917\, the Johnson-Reed Act of 1924\, and the Merchant Marine Act of 1936\, merchant ships with crews legally entitled to shore leave served as platforms for acts of impersonation of merchant seamen\, stowaways\, and migrant smuggling rings that collectively presented powerful nodes of mobility for potential illegal immigration into the U.S. This paper will argue that the 1930 Merchant Seamen was a direct response to these venues of subversion\, and that the outbreak of dragnet raids and deportation of non-citizen merchant seamen in sailortown districts in major port cities during 1931 were legitimized\, in part\, by government data collection. \nThis paper proposes to examine the records continuum of the 1930 Merchant Seamen census\, reactivating its contexts of creation\, use\, disposition\, and afterlives with the intent of historizing a singular instance of government surveillance over a severely marginalized population of transient maritime laborers. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes \n  \nThe Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa vs. The National Museum of the American Indian: The Production of Indigenous Public History and Memory in New Zealand vs. the United States \nSpeakers:\nJeff Hirschy (University of Southern Mississippi) \nAccessibility:\n\nClosed Captioning\nAlternative Images\n\nAbstract:\nNew Zealand and the United States of America are both settler societies founded in territories already controlled by Indigenous peoples. In New Zealand\, it was the Maori people and in the United States it was the numerous Native American tribes living in North America. Both peoples were pushed aside by the arriving white settlers. But\, in New Zealand\, the Maori people were able to semi-successfully carve out a distinct cultural space that just managed to preserved their society and culture within a wider multi-cultural New Zealand. This is unlike the Native Americans in the United States who were banished to the outskirts of wider American society and placed on reservations to basically rot physically\, culturally\, and spiritually and who still remain on the outskirts of American culture and society  in the 21st century. \nThe success of Maoris in integrating themselves into wider New Zealand society also extends to museums and archives in ways that Native American culture hasn’t managed to achieve in the archives and museums of the United States. Because of this success\, information institutions like the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and the Auckland War Memorial Museum have establish better techniques and principles to preserve\, manage\, and remember Maori culture within their walls compared to what museums in the United States like the National Museum of the American Indian have done for Indigenous culture there in the United States. \nThe museums and archives in the United States that focus on Native matters\, like the National Museum of the American Indian\, can learn from the museums in New Zealand that celebrate Maori culture to establish better techniques and principles to more successfully celebrate\, preserve and remember Native American culture. Doing this would create a stronger public history and memory for Native Americans across the United States. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes

SUMMARY:Short Papers: Diasporas and Disappearance
DESCRIPTION:SHORT PAPERS: THEME – DIASPORAS AND DISAPPEARANCE\nChair: James Lowry \nRegister for this session: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMtduyvqDwiGtY06b5c__WEVIQd00shvBBQ   \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n  \nPapers:\nOvercoming the impulse to secrecy: A Search Unit’s access to records in the ongoing search for the disappeared. \nSpeakers:\nNatalia Bermúdez Qvortrup \nAbstract:\nIn 2016\, a peace agreement was signed in Colombia that saw the implementation of a transitional justice (TJ) system to deal with the violations of nearly six decades of conflict. Due to extreme high numbers of enforced disappearances in Colombia (120\,000 –going up dramatically at the moment within the context of the current protests)\, one of the TJ mechanisms created was the Unit of Search for Disappeared Persons (UBPD). Its mandate is the protection of the families’ right to know the truth regarding the fate of victims. The UBPD applies a humanitarian and extrajudicial approach to the search\, meaning it does not attribute responsibility. This approach is implemented to ensure that information is shared more easily in a context where information about violations is often withheld or manipulated to avoid accountability and for fear of reprisals. \nThrough interviews and document studies\, this inductive and qualitative investigation describes the UBPD’s access to records of  the different parties to the conflict (the Government & the FARC)\, looking into the information barriers the UBPD has experienced in its collection of data\, and whether\, or how\, they are overcome. An investigation of information-sharing within a humanitarian and extrajudicial framework highlights the extent to which access to information and records is possible\, the challenges that arise and how they may be met in a  context of a weak state with historically high levels of distrust and a strong administrative bureaucracy. \nWhat is the relationship of the UBPD with the different government offices and the FARC? To what extent is there compliance\, willingness or adversarialism? What are the barriers to information and how are they overcome? \nThe paper is part of a larger doctoral project that investigates the role of archives in Colombia in the context of enforced disappearance. \nThis session will not be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel \n  \nThe Amplification Project: Documenting\, Preserving\, and Sharing Art of Forced Displacement \nSpeakers:\nDr. Kathy Carbone\, UCLA \nAbstract:\nFormed in 2019\, The Amplification Project: Digital Archive for Forced Migration\, Contemporary Art\, and Action is a public\, participatory community-led digital archive of art and activism inspired\, influenced\, or affected by forced displacement. The Amplification Project offers a platform for artists\, activists\, and other cultural producers to document\, preserve\, and share work in any medium that narrates or contemplates lived or observed experiences of exile\, crossing borders\, seeking asylum\, detention and refugee camps\, and refugeehood. I co-founded and direct The Amplification Project with an international group of artists\, curators\, and activists: Biba Sheikh\, Vukašin Nedeljković\, Elizabeth Shoshany Anderson\, and Pinar Öğrenci. Since launching the archive in mid-2020\, fourteen artists worldwide have submitted over 100+ photographs\, digital images of visual artwork\, photo- and illustrated narratives\, and videos. Through the notions of “slow activism” (Wallace Heim) and socially engaged archival practice\, in this paper\, I reflect on the origins and development of The Amplification Project and its community\, our current work\, and future aspirations. I also ask: What role can participatory community-led digital archives play in today’s evolving conversations about forced migration\, asylum\, and refuge? What kinds of solidarity building and collective action can archives do in support of asylum seekers and refugees? \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel?  No

SUMMARY:Panel: Exploring Archival Recovery and Reuse Across Disciplines
DESCRIPTION:PANEL: Exploring Archival Recovery and Reuse Across Disciplines\nRegister for this event here: \nhttps://umd.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EjRiA_Z5SEyBZ3fgJSobOg \nSpeakers:\n\nCaitlin Christian-Lamb\, University of Maryland\nCooper Clarke\, University of Maryland\nKatrina Fenlon\, University of Maryland\nHannah Frisch\, University of Maryland\nDiana Marsh\, University of Maryland\nHilary Szu Yin Shiue\, University of Maryland\nSelena St. Andre\, University of Maryland\nVictoria Van Hyning\, University of Maryland\n\nDiscussant:\n\nChristine Borgman\, University of California\, Los Angeles\n\nAccessibility details:\nRecording with live captioning \nAbstract:\nIncreasingly\, recognition of the vast value of data lying dormant within archives and cultural collections has spurred various efforts toward data rescue\, recovery\, and reuse within and beyond cultural institutions. These initiatives include but are not limited to crowdsourcing (e.g. Evans 2007; Ridge\, ed. 2014; Van Hyning\, 2019)\, efforts to salvage politically vulnerable scientific data (Janz\, 2018)\, and efforts to extract computationally amenable research data from within collections to support novel reuse across disciplines. Yet\, despite the substantial and growing literature on data reuse and curation to support reuse (e.g.\, Borgman\, 2016; Tenopir et al.\, 2015; Akmon et al.\, 2011; Palmer et al.\, 2011; Schöch\, 2013; Poole & Garwood\, 2020; Padilla et al.\, 2019)\, many stakeholders’ attitudes towards\, and practices of archival data recovery and reuse remains uneven and siloed. \nChristine Borgman’s monograph Big Data\, Little Data\, No Data (2015) broadly maps and deeply explores this complex\, multidisciplinary landscape\, arguing that “[t]hese are collective challenges\, best addressed as knowledge infrastructure issues. The more stakeholders who come to the table\, the deeper the conversation is likely to be” (273). Our Recovering and Reusing Archival Data (RRAD) Lab\, formed at the University of Maryland iSchool in Spring 2021\, studies the systems and communities of practice involved in cultures of recovery and reuse\, to identify convergent\, flexible\, scalable solutions to these persistent and pressing issues. \nIn this panel\, our team of early career archival and information scholars will ask of three interrelated projects exploring these collective challenges: Where are the gaps in collective efforts toward data reuse across a range of institutional contexts? What barriers confront different disciplinary communities? How can archival practice\, structures\, and norms support data reuse? \nWe will share a historical data reuse case study from the National Agricultural Library\, anthropological data reuse at the National Anthropological Archives\, and opportunities and challenges for the reuse of volunteer-generated crowdsourced data.
