SUMMARY:Short Paper Session
DESCRIPTION:Short Paper Sessions consist of three papers: \n\nSalma Abumeeiz: Building Community Archive Partnerships: Considerations\, Pedagogies\, and Cohort-Building around the Islamic Center of Southern California Community Archive\nGrace Handy: Refusal of Inclusion: Evading the Colonial Archive\nAlex H. Poole and Ashley Todd-Diaz: Unpacking the Graduate Archival Curriculum\n\nAbstract\nBuilding Community Archive Partnerships: Considerations\, Pedagogies\, and Cohort-Building around the Islamic Center of Southern California Community Archive\nThis presentation will highlight the dynamic cohort of academic staff\, faculty\, graduate students\, and community practitioners that continue to coalesce around the budding Islamic Center of Southern California (ICSC) Community Archive. Beginning in August 2020\, librarians from the UCLA library began an informal partnership with community members from the ICSC as part of an ongoing effort to preserve\, document\, and make accessible the unique identity and history of the Center from its inception in 1953 to the present day. Since forging this partnership\, the team has expanded to include faculty members and graduate students in the UCLA Department of Information Studies. \nAs a result of this expanded community of practice\, the ICSC Community Archive has been embedded into two archival studies courses spanning 3 academic quarters. This curriculum-integration created meaningful archival projects for over 30 graduate students\, which were completed in collaboration with ICSC community members\, librarians\, and IS faculty. Reflecting on the community of practice and student projects that emerged around the ICSC Community Archive\, this presentation will: \n\nhighlight the importance of reciprocity and mutually-beneficial relationship building within community archival initiatives\, particularly those that involve institutionally-based participants;\nexplore the pedagogical and cohort-building potential associated with community archival partnerships\, while cautioning against “damaging tendencies in academic research\, including: parachuting in\, knowledge extraction … and transactional consent” (Caswell et. al.\, 2021\, para. 1);\nand\, finally\, illustrate community archival and self-documentation practices from a regionally-situated Muslim community\, which has historically been under-served by the archival field.\n\nPresenter Bio\nSalma Abumeeiz\, Research and Instruction Librarian\, UCLA Library \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\nAlt text for images/posters\n\nRecording\nThis presentation will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube. \nAbstract\nRefusal of Inclusion: Evading the Colonial Archive\nThere are few discussions in archival theory about the agency of the colonized to avoid presence in the archive\, but many on how archivists have purposefully ignored those marginalized and told an incomplete and biased story. This is certainly true\, but included in this narrative is a solution of its own making: that only archives themselves have created those gaps and themselves can fill them in. \nThis presentation explores instances of intentional hiding in contrast to liberal demands for inclusivity and representation\, building on the work of other scholars that focuses on the refusal of certain Indigenous groups and individuals to have their materials and stories archived in Canada’s National Center for Truth and Reconciliation and the Library and Archives Canada Multicultural Initiatives Office. This presentation reads such agency as a rejection of appropriation and incorporation into a settler colonial project\, also analyzing the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act in the U.S.\, an example of the demand for Indigenous sovereignty over their own materials using their own archival or anarchival practices. Drawing from the work of Dr. Jamila Ghaddar and Dr. Karina Vernon\, this intervention reads intentional refusal as resistance\, contrary to the narrative of archival inclusion as liberatory. \nPresenter Bio\nGrace Handy\, Queens College \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\n\nRecording\nThis presentation will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube for the duration of Virtual AERI 2022. \nAbstract\nUnpacking the Graduate Archival Curriculum\nThe Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)-funded research project\, “Exploring New Frontiers in 21st Century Archival Education\,” explores the historical trajectory and current state of archival education; it seeks to build capacity in Master’s level archival pedagogy. As part of this research\, the project team conducted semistructured interviews with 33 full-time tenure-track archives faculty listed in the Society of American Archivists’ (SAA) Directory of Archival Education and an online survey (406 responses) of graduate students and new archival professionals (five years or fewer in the field). \nThe proposed paper will focus on the following research question: what is the current state of the graduate archival curriculum? This research question is undergirded by the following sub-questions: what do faculty and students think are the most important courses and course topics? What would faculty and students like to see added to the curriculum? How do faculty choose readings and assignments? What readings and assignments do students find or did they find most useful? How well do students believe they are being prepared or have been prepared for practice? \nThis paper will illuminate the commonalities and differences between the perspectives of current archival faculty\, students\, and recent graduates regarding the current state of graduate archival education—and implications for moving forward pedagogically in the 2020s. \nPresenter Bio\nAlex H.

SUMMARY:Short Paper Session
DESCRIPTION:This Short Paper Sessions consists of two papers: \n\nHenria Aton\, Christa Sato\, Wendy Duff: Trauma-informed approaches to information: Reflections on co-teaching an innovative 6-week master’s level workshop\nJohnathan Thayer: Oral History and Rhizomatic Documentation of Cultural Heritage\n\nAbstract\nTrauma-informed approaches to information: Reflections on co-teaching an innovative 6-week master’s level workshop\nIn 2020\, we began a three-year\, SSHRC-funded interdisciplinary project between the Faculties of Information and Social Work at the University of Toronto (PIs: Wendy Duff and Cheryl Regehr). Our research seeks to better understand how archivists are impacted by their work and how institutions support or fail to support their archival workers. The wider research objectives are to develop a theoretical model about archives\, emotions\, and trauma that is unique to archivists; to create open-access tools and educational materials; and to develop a training workshop for archival students and professionals. \nDuring phase one of our study\, interviews were conducted between June and November 2021. A recurring theme shared among participants was having limited education and training during their studies that prepared them to deal with emotions and trauma in the archives. In response to this identified gap and as part of the project’s objectives to develop a training workshop for archival students and professionals\, an innovative 6-week workshop was developed and offered to Masters of Information students at the University of Toronto. \nDrawing from expertise in social work and archives\, the purpose of the workshop was for students to develop and apply trauma-informed approaches adapted for their respective professional contexts\, and to learn about and practice methods for coping with potentially traumatic situations in the workplace. Through critical reflection and experiential activities including case scenarios\, students developed knowledge and skills necessary to recognize and address direct and indirect trauma\, and learn concrete strategies to manage the impacts of trauma both for themselves and those they interact with in a professional workplace setting. \nIn our presentation for AERI 2022\, we will discuss our process of developing the workshop\, share student feedback about the relevance and impact of the workshop\, and share our own reflections and key lessons learned as co-instructions. \nPresenter Bio\nHenria Aton\, Information\, University of Toronto \n Christa Sato\, Social Work\, University of Toronto \nWendy Duff\, Dean and Professor\, Information\, University of Toronto \nAbstract\nOral History and Rhizomatic Documentation of Cultural Heritage\nIn Spring 2016 and Fall 2020\, Queens Memory collaborated with Dr. Johnathan Thayer’s graduate Public History classes at Queens College on their work to document and preserve the Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground\, a local history site that has been the focus of a great deal of community activism. The Burial Ground was originally used for African-American\, Native American and “pauper” burials\, but in the 1930s was paved over and turned into a NYC park called Martin’s Field\, featuring a children’s playground. A group of local residents (the OTFBG Conservancy)\, including some descendants of those buried at the site\, have fought a long battle with the city to get the land recognized as a cemetery\, and have finally won some progress in recent years. \nStudents researched the site’s history\, created multimedia public history projects and conducted oral history interviews with Conservancy members as well as others connected with the site. Drawing on Wendy M. Duff and Jessica Haskell’s work on a “rhizomatic approach to archival access” as well as Kristin Anne Lingdren\, Amanda Cachia\, and Kelly C. George’s “growing rhizomatically” approach to creative accommodation in galleries\, this paper proposes a model in which oral history serves as anchor for a platform upon which to develop a rhizomatic approach to documenting cultural heritage. Oral history interviews with stakeholders who identify with the site (locality\, race\, ethnicity) guided our approach to other documentation initiatives\, including contextual archival research\, digital visualization projects\, a documentary film\, and a set of lesson plans\, among other outcomes. \nPresenter Bio\nJohnathan Thayer\, Assistant Professor\, Queens College\, The City University of New York \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\nAlt text for images/posters\n\nDetails\nTo confirm the date/time of this session in your timezone please use the following link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Short+Paper+Session&iso=20220714T16&p1=1440&am=45 \nZoom details\nPlease join zoom meeting: https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/84487521909 \nRecording\nThis session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube for the duration of Virtual AERI 2022.

SUMMARY:Short Paper Session
DESCRIPTION:Short Paper Sessions consist of two papers: \n\nAlexandra Pucciarelli: Finding and Fearing Disease in the Archive: Evidence; Eugenics; Survivance\nDevan Ray Donaldson: Perception vs. Reality: Understanding the Birth Certificate of #BarackObama\, Trust\, and Misinformation\n\nAbstract\nFinding and Fearing Disease in the Archive: Evidence; Eugenics; Survivance\nMy uncle Richard was just 30 years old when he won his Emmy. This should have been the beginning of an amazing career\, but just two months later he was diagnosed with a rare form of multiple sclerosis. MS destroyed his frontal lobe\, causing him to lose all impulse control\, and he spent the rest of his life in psychiatric hospitals\, prisons\, and group homes before he died of complications of MS. The fear that I\, too\, might one day lose control prompted me to begin genealogical research\, looking for assurances that Richard’s fate would not be my own. As a Jewish person\, I was keenly aware of the intergenerational trauma associated with this practice. While conducting my research\, I found myself engaged in a project with an inextricable relationship with eugenics. As a site for the production of evidence\, archives have been weaponized against Jewish people. In the Second World War\, records were used to track down and identify Jews\, part of a program of experimentation and extermination built on eugenicist notions of racial purity and genetic superiority. This paper takes an autoethnographic approach to exploring the tensions implicit in genealogical research into hereditary disease when the same archival methods have been directed against the survival of the disabled and the Jewish people. It is vital for us as archivists to consider all angles for how records can be used and manipulated when creating and maintaining them. \nPresenter Bio\nAlexandra Pucciarelli\, PhD Student\, Rutgers \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\nAlt text for images/posters\n\nAbstract\nPerception vs. Reality: Understanding the Birth Certificate of #BarackObama\, Trust\, and Misinformation\nRecords are persistent representations of activities created by partakers\, observers\, or their authorized proxies. People are generally willing to trust vital records such as birth\, death\, and marriage certificates. However\, conspiracy theories and other misinformation may negatively impact perceptions of such documents\, particularly when they are associated with a significant person or event. \nThis paper explores the relationship between archival records and trustworthiness by reporting results of a survey that asked genealogists about their perceptions of 44th U.S. President Barack Obama’s birth certificate\, which was then at the center of the “birtherism” conspiracy. We found that although most participants perceived the birth certificate as trustworthy\, others engaged in a biased review\, considering it not trustworthy because of the news and politics surrounding it. \nThese findings suggest that a conspiracy theory can act as a moderating variable that undermines the efficacy of normal or recommended practices and procedures for evaluating online information such as birth certificates. We provide recommendations and propose strategies for archivists to disseminate correct information to counteract the spread of misinformation about the authenticity of vital records\, and we discuss future directions for research. \nPresenter Bio\nDevan Ray Donaldson\, Luddy School of Informatics\, Computing\, and Engineering\, Indiana University Bloomington \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\n\n  \nDetails\nTo confirm the date/time of this session in your timezone please use the following link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Short+Paper+Session&iso=20220714T17&p1=1440&ah=1 \nTeams details\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://teams.microsoft.com/registration/3vcbdOXi30aNZ4Jgffneqg\,2nLHGETpEUC4mT4pHKawXQ\,7uqVMoEKBEibSBfBD7iH7A\,FxRmXNdgCkmcIricR6V7gw\,GFSpCWq6WUeEbMgnz1dUGg\,aA9tHxZzSEKEGn5oOC8F4A?mode=read&tenantId=741bf7de-e2e5-46df-8d67-82607df9deaa \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nRecording\nThis session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube.

SUMMARY:Short Paper Session
DESCRIPTION:This Short Paper Sessions consists of three papers: \n\nStacey Erdman: Introducing the Digital POWRR Peer Assessment Program\nSarah Buchanan and Jane Bartley: Fostering Transparency and Responsiveness through Extensible Provenance Research\nRozvita-Monica Cosac: Fr Vasile Radu\, the first Romanian scholar of Hebrew and Christian Arabic studies\, as revealed by archival material\n\nAbstract\nIntroducing the Digital POWRR Peer Assessment Program\nThe Digital POWRR Project began in 2012 as an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funded study to explore the creation of pragmatic digital preservation solutions at underfunded Institutions. The initial IMLS grant had multiple outputs; a white paper\, the POWRR Tool Grid\, and a day-long workshop that distilled and disseminated research results to other working professionals. Further grants were awarded to support further development of the one-day workshop (2015-2016) as well as the development of a 2-day professional training institute (2017-2019). Participants in the workshops and institutes learned about digital preservation concepts and participated in technology acquisition activities. Institute participants were required to complete their own “POWRR Plan\,” which introduced digital preservation assessment concepts and techniques in an accessible manner. They also had the opportunity to discuss these plans one on one with an instructor\, and also receive input from fellow attendees. \nPost-Institute feedback emphasized the lasting value of these plans and individual consultations in helping attendees begin to make incremental progress on local digital preservation goals.  This feedback led to the creation of the IMLS-funded Digital POWRR Peer Assessment Program\,  an innovative\, structured and supportive year-long program that trains digital stewardship practitioners in assessment practices. The program\, delivered entirely virtually\,  provides compensation for participants as they complete both self and peer assessments\, and work with their peers to set and achieve some realistic goals for their local environments. The program also provides their home institutions with a small “Tech Start Up Fee” that may be used to fund purchases identified as necessary to enact local preservation practices. \nThis presentation will provide an overview of the structure of the new Peer Assessment Program\, which launched its first phase in early 2022\, as well as detail some early feedback from participants and peer mentors. \nPresenter Bio\nStacey Erdman\, Digital Preservation Librarian at University of Arizona \nAbstract\nFostering Transparency and Responsiveness through Extensible Provenance Research\nProvenance arises in such everyday settings as purchasing a home or a used car – informing us of past whereabouts and origins – and the disciplines of bibliography\, archaeology\, museum studies\, and art history. Provenance researchers may even be more interested\, sometimes\, in what an object could reveal about an artist’s popularity\, social connections\, and market conditions\, than the ownership history and characteristics of the object itself. Given such a wide range of purposes for conducting research\, training and education for such work has not prioritized transferable skills and has steadily become more localized and case-specific. Students and smaller institutions still face limited models for commencing a program of provenance research for one or more collections. Over three years\, we are investigating provenance research in four information institutional domains (with legal frameworks especially considered within each): art collections\, special collections and archival manuscripts\, Native and Indigenous research\, and rural history. \nOur AERI presentation will articulate how practitioners are completing provenance research that is bounded in meaningful ways\, and will detail particular internal and external-facing strategies that visibly and recently have expanded public engagement with collections. Strategies include negotiating timing within archival workflows\, capturing datapoints offline and crediting them online\, and retaining cultural humility around intergenerational heritage. \nPresenter Bio\nSarah Buchanan\, University of Missouri. \n Jane Bartley\, University of Missouri. \nAbstract\nFr Vasile Radu\, the first Romanian scholar of Hebrew and Christian Arabic studies\, as revealed by archival material\nBorn in 1887 in Panciu (Vrancea County\, Romania)\, Fr Vasile Radu was the first Romanian scholar of Hebrew and Christian Arabic studies\, editor and translator from the Old Testament and Christian Arabic manuscripts of the 17th century. He studied Hebrew and Arabic in Paris at École Pratique des Hautes Études and the Catholic University. He was the first translator into French and editor of the Arabic text of Paul of Aleppo’s Journal of his travels with his father Makarios III ibn al-Za’im\, Patriarch of Antioch (1647-1672)\, in Syria\, Constantinople\, Wallachia\, Moldavia\, Ukraine\, and Muscovy (1652-1659). Fr Vasile Radu prepared a new translation of the Bible into Romanian after original Hebrew and Greek texts. \nFor my PhD program at the Institute for South-East European Studies of the Romanian Academy\, I have searched Romanian archives to discover information about Fr Vasile Radu’s life and scientific achievements. I have discovered\, so far\, archival material concerning him in three major archives: the National Archives of Romania (Iași)\, the archives of the Romanian Broadcasting Company in Bucharest\, and the archives of the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church. The investigation of these documents revealed his learning progress and the edition and translation methodologies that he devised\, a pioneering work in the Oriental studies of Romania. Among them\, an autobiographic Memorandum of Titles\, Studies and Works addressed by him to the Rector of the University of Iași\, part of a job application\, provides information on his French professors\, courses taken in Paris in the early 20th century\, and his list of works (edited texts\, translations and studies). This paper highlights the relevance of archival material for the research dedicated to the works of Fr Vasile Radu as a pioneer of Oriental studies – especially on the Arabic-speaking Christians – in Romania\, and Eastern Europe in general. \nPresenter Bio\nRozvita-Monica Cosac\, PhD candidate\, Institute for South-East European Studies\, Romanian Academy. \n\nDetails\nTo confirm the date/time of this session in your timezone please use the following link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Short+Paper+Session&iso=20220714T18&p1=1440&ah=1 \nTeams Details\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://teams.microsoft.com/registration/3vcbdOXi30aNZ4Jgffneqg\,2nLHGETpEUC4mT4pHKawXQ\,7uqVMoEKBEibSBfBD7iH7A\,4LRMgUr970yUoBlYb52_2w\,qYhjqLeSUkmc_u2j8uRfhg\,qn9lNpUd_06UouDbW2AThA?mode=read&tenantId=741bf7de-e2e5-46df-8d67-82607df9deaa \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\n\nRecording\nThis session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube.

SUMMARY:Ethics of Care in Mental Health Archives in London
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nTypist\, Artist\, Pirate\, King: Representing the life of Audrey Amiss though a mental health lens Dr. Anna Sexton seeks to consider what adopting an ethics of care means when stewarding collections that document mental health lived experience. Self-described on her passport as a typist\, artist\, pirate and king\, Audrey Amiss won a scholarship to the Royal Academy School of Art in London in 1954 but was unable to complete her studies due to a breakdown that resulted in incarceration at Warlingham Park Hospital via MayDay Hospital\, Croydon. The Audrey Amiss Archive\, deposited at the Wellcome Library in London\, will be used as a case study to surface the ethical tensions that arise when mainstream collecting institutions with a remit to document health and medicine take in personal collections under the auspices of seeking to better represent the perspective of the mentally ill patient. \nThe paper will explore how shifting institutional remits and perspectives at the Wellcome have influenced how Audrey’s life and archive has been positioned\, described\, and interpreted by the Wellcome and its users. The Caring Archive: A Case Study of documenting mental health Dr. Hannah Ishmael will discuss Black Cultural Archives’ approach to cataloguing the papers of African American activist Melba Wilson who has spent almost 40 years in London. This collection documents not only Melba Wilson’s role in the development of the Black Women’s Movement and Black feminism in Britain but also her extensive role in ensuring greater equity in the development of mental health services across the United Kingdom. In this paper I will outline our approach to attempting to develop a framework that encapsulates this vision of ethics of care and collaboration but analysis the tension between current cataloguing practices and an attempt to disrupt them. \nPresenter Bios\nDr. Anna Sexton\, UCL \n Dr. Hannah Ishmael\, UCL \nDetails\nZoom meeting details will be provided prior to the event. \nTo confirm the date/time of this session in your timezone please use the following link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Ethics+of+Care+in+Mental+Health+Archives+in+London&iso=20220714T19&p1=1440&ah=1 \nZoom details\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://ucl.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJctcOGpqDkoE9Y_dWgG5ZJquUiluEX7z-3t \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nAccessibility details\n\nAlt text for images/posters\n\nRecording\nThis session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube.

SUMMARY:Short Paper Session
DESCRIPTION:This Short Paper Sessions consists of three papers: \n\nBerlin Loa: Knowledge River: Next-Gen Scholars\nRuth Abankwah and Christine-Rita Namusobya Afuaa Serwaa Abankwah: Dissertation mentoring\nVlatka Lemić: Archival perspective in the research of socio-cultural dynamics: example of GLOB_Exchange project\n\nAbstract\nKnowledge River: Next-Gen Scholars\nThe Knowledge River program (KR) at the University of Arizona School of Information supports the recruitment and retention of information professionals from BIPOC communities. Initially founded as an initiative for Latino and Native librarianship in 2001\, the program has since grown and is celebrating 20 successful years. In 2019\, KR broadened the program curriculum and recruitment to scholars that identify as BIPOC (Black\, Indigenous\, Latino/Chicano and other People of Color) in recognition of the multi-ethnic and intersectional identities of future archivists and librarians. Recognizing the challenges of using the term BIPOC\, this acronym was chosen to counter historically imposed racial labels that can often exclude those who don’t identify with a single categorical box. KR continues to expand the conversation on ethnic identity\, ways of knowledge\, ways of organizing and preserving information\, and ways to work with and support marginalized people through a dynamic community of researchers\, teachers\, students\, and practitioners. \nThis dashboard report will illustrate the successes\, challenges\, and outcomes of KR as well as offering insight into its goals and projects in partnership with cultural heritage organizations such as libraries\, archives\, and museums. Now in its 20th year of advancing DEI in LIS\, KR asks: How can KR ensure that the focus remains relevant to the needs\, practices\, and expectations of people in information and knowledge management for the next 20 years? Attendees will learn about the program model\, current research\, and will also be invited to be part of a conversation about how to improve access and work with BIPOC scholars through sharing input\, questions\, and feedback during the Q & A. \nPresenter Bio\nBerlin Loa\, Assistant Professor\, University of Arizona\, School of Information \nAbstract\nDissertation mentoring\nThe aim of the presentation is to demystify PhD writing by pointing out Dos and Dont’s of thesis writing. The presenter will share her experience of the lonely road to acquiring a PhD. These are tips you may not get from supervisors or textbooks. We shall address 3 major questions: \n\nWHY – are you pursuing a PhD?\nWHO – who is in your network? – Sponsors\, family\, workmates\, peers\, etc.\nHOW – how do you plan to pursue the PhD (Timeframe) · Time set by your university · Mode- full time\, part-time\, face to face or online.\n\nThe archival theoretical framework will be highlighted and the importance of choosing the correct framework will be pointed out. The session will end with pitfalls to guard against when writing a proposal/dissertation. \nPresenter Bio\nDr Ruth Abankwah\, Affiliated to Makerere University\, East African School of Library and Information Science \nChristine-Rita Namusobya Afuaa Serwaa Abankwah\, Affiliated to Nabirye Legacy\, Upskill Institute\, Uganda – Professional Editors. \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\nA summary of the presentation slide will be provided before the presentation.\n\nAbstract\nArchival perspective in the research of socio-cultural dynamics: example of GLOB_Echange project\nGLOB_Exchange (Models and Practices of Global Cultural Exchange and Non-aligned Movement (NAM) Research in the Spatio-Temporal Cultural Dynamics) is a collaborative research project lead by Academy of Fine Arts and Design (Slovenia) and Institute of Art History (Croatia). Project is focused on a various global and internal social dynamic of NAM in 1960s-1980s period and gathers interdisciplinary team of researchers from art history\, cultural studies\, sociology\, human geography\, political science\, economics\, and history. \nConcerning the complexity exchange in four continents\, the research is based on the available archival sources scattered in various public and private archives. In order to gain an accurate insight into the models and mechanisms in its background\, the scope of the research has been narrowed down to exchange programs in visual arts\, design\, architecture and urban planning\, where the latter assumes projects integral to UN (UNESCO) programs of technical aid to Africa\, Asia\, and Latin America\, led by networks of UN experts. \nFor this purpose\, research team is prepared archival guidelines and data set model for describing archival material that researchers explored and gathered in the framework of project activities\, as well as archival module enabling developing of digital interfaces for dynamic representations of spatio-temporal data correlations\, and multidimensional network visualizations. \nAuthor\, who participate in the project as archival advisor\, will present archival perspective of this research – from introducing researchers with access to archival material and descriptive standards to researcher’s expectations from archives. Among others\, use of digital tools in data representation also raised question about their connectivity with operational archival information systems. \nPresenter Bio\nVlatka Lemić\, University of Zagreb\, Head of University Archives and Professor at Archival Department \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\nAlt text for images/posters\n\nDetails\nTo confirm the date/time of this session in your timezone please use the following link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Short+Paper+Session&iso=20220714T20&p1=1440&am=45 \nZoom details\nJoin zoom meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84765666918?pwd=WmQxa3Vsd05iVzRmdGhSMzEyTUZoZz09 \nMeeting ID: 847 6566 6918\nPasscode: 437277\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kef1fUOhQ0 \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\n\nRecording\nThis session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube.

SUMMARY:Interactive Discussion: Embedding trauma-informed practice in archival education
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIdeas around archives\, affect\, empathy\, trauma and emotions are increasingly being discussed in the archival literature. Alongside this\, practitioners at conferences have shared their experiences of feeling trauma and emotions and being unprepared for this. How can these ideas and issues raised by academics and practitioners be acknowledged and covered within archival education? Trauma-informed practice has been highlighted as a useful framework which can be used in archives\, to address some of the issues raised in the literature\, and to provide more support to archival practitioners. \nIn this interactive discussion\, please come along prepared to discuss your ideas around how trauma-informed practice can be incorporated into archival education of all kinds – from formal tertiary archives courses\, to more informal types of training such as continuing professional development. \nTopics for discussion include: \n\nTrauma-informed practice involves a set of quite practical skills and ideas that can be taught to archivists\, but how does this fit in with current archival education?\nHow can we better collaborate with mental health professionals and others with long experience in trauma-informed practice\, to transmit the skills they currently use\, and make them suitable and useful for archives?\nAre there different ways trauma-informed practice can be brought into archival work?\nHow can archival education best discuss issues of secondary/vicarious trauma with students\, and provide them with supports going into archival work?\nHow can archival education be used to advocate for better support for archives workers who are dealing with these issues\, particularly those in precarious employment?\n\nPresenter Bios\nKirsten Wright\, University of Melbourne \nKrystal Payne\, University of Winnipeg – Kishaadigeh Collaborative Research Centre \nDetails\nTo confirm the date/time of this session in your timezone please use the following link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Interactive+Discussion%3A+Embedding+trauma-informed+practice+in+archival+education&iso=20220714T21&p1=1440&ah=1 \nZoom details\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://unimelb.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0rduiupj4oGtbSzOtHM2YPMCrRVm4P-LpU \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\n\nRecording\nThis session will be live-only.

SUMMARY:How We Got Here: Creating Space for Disabled Archival Workers
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nDiscussing the histories of disability-focused community work in archives\, this panel illuminates multiple initiatives surrounding accessibility and archives. Four disabled archivists will discuss efforts to date for advancing disability visibility and accessibility in the archival profession. \nMichelle Ganz will describe some of the earliest formal efforts within the Society of American Archivists (SAA) to advance accessibility and disability: a Working Group founded in the early 2010s\, which led to the creation of the Best Practices for Working with Archives Employees with Physical Disabilities and Researchers with Disabilities. \nLydia Tang will discuss the experience of revising the Best Practices into the Guidelines for Accessible Archives for People with Disabilities over 10 years later and the formation of SAA’s Accessibility and Disability Section. \nLydia Tang and Michelle Ganz will highlight accomplishments of the section and future planned initiatives\, addressing the process of advocating for the value of disability in archival conversations. \nGracen Brilmyer and Veronica Denison will discuss their ongoing research project using interviews with disabled archivists and the ways in which the profession has and continues to shape feelings of belonging for disabled people. \nThrough this discussion\, this panel will show that disability advocacy and research are critical to the future of archival practice. \nPresenter Bios\nGracen Brilmyer\, McGill University School of Information Studies \nVeronica Denison\, Kansas State University \nMichelle Ganz\, Dominican Sisters of Peace \n Lydia Tang\, LYRASIS \nDetails\nTo confirm the date/time of this session in your timezone please use the following link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=How+We+Got+Here%3A+Creating+Space+for+Disabled+Archival+Workers&iso=20220714T22&p1=1440&ah=1 \nZoom details\nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://DominicanSistersofPeace.zoom.us/j/3622089625 \nMeeting ID: 362 208 9625\nFind your local number: https://DominicanSistersofPeace.zoom.us/u/kDk5S5CRA \nAccessibility details\n\nLive captioning\n\nRecording\nThis session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube during the week of Virtual AERI 2022.
