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.

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: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: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\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: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 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 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:(Dis)location: Exploring the Movement of Information\, Records\, and People
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIn this panel\, speakers will discuss their research regarding the impact\, outcomes\, and perceptions of displacement\, relocation\, or removal of historic records and information. Panelists through moderated questions will then weave together research insights on how recordkeepers\, makers\, and users interact with colonial\, paternalistic\, and imperial systems of information. All three panelists wish to engage deeply on questions of how locations both those currently or previously inhabited impacts the framing and understanding of records for present or future use. \nCarbajal will present preliminary research findings regarding Louisiana foster care youth records through a recordkeeping approach known as “memory boxes” and the framing of these record collections during displacement as a result of natural disasters. \nNguyễn will share her research on a misinformation crisis in the Vietnamese refugee and immigrant community\, affect of deep memory\, and imagined records in light of the state surveillance and the lack of collective memory records. \nGorrell will share a method that she is developing called Meta Stories Origins (MSO): a data collection practice that documents the lived political experiences of black communities across the world under colonialism and how that history affects how they respond to climatic disasters. \nPresenter Bios\nItza Carbajal\, University of Washington Information School \nSarah Nguyễn\, University of Washington Information School \nDykee Gorrell\, University of Washington Information School \nDetails\nThe live version of this talk was cancelled\, but a recording will be available on the AERI YouTube. \nAccessibility details\n\nLive captioning\nAlt text for images/posters\n\nRecording\nThis session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube.

SUMMARY:Keynote: Tonia Sutherland
DESCRIPTION:Homegoing: On the Need for Black Memory Work and Black Archival Practices\nDr. Tonia Sutherland | University of California\, Los Angeles \nAbstract\nArchives in the United States typically comprise information such as names\, genealogies\, and narratives. To encounter Blackness in American archives\, by contrast\, often means that one must instead confront—and endeavor to make sense of—numbers\, ciphers\, and fragments. As a result\, doing justice to the Black past frequently entails an intentional revising of what has been said about it. Black memory work does just this\, scavenging some of the most corrupt archival materials to “imagine the past” and “remember the future\,” as Carlos Fuentes (1985) calls us to do. It is not\, however\, just traditional archivy with which Black memory work is concerned. As Tonia Sutherland argues in this keynote address\, Black memory work also has a history of revolutionizing the archival impulse to reflect a more radical aesthetic\, speaking directly into the wounds of what has been withheld. In this talk\, Sutherland pairs material from her book\, Resurrecting the Black Body: Digital Afterlives in the 21st Century with examples of both historical and contemporary Black memory work\, making compelling arguments about the importance of Black memory work and Black archival practices for both American archivy and Black liberation—past\, present\, and future. \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=Keynote%3A+Tonia+Sutherland&iso=20220713T22&p1=1440&ah=1 \nZoom details\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcqdOmqpzooGNb5wNy_VLPJ_ePnZAVCLgFU \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

SUMMARY:Canada’s Reconciliation Framework: Reflections and Advocacy Across Borders
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Native American Archives Section of the Society of American Archivists & Archival Education and Research Institute \nAbstract\nIn late February 2022\, the Response to the Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Taskforce (TRC-TF) of the Steering Committee on Canada’s Archives (SCCA) released its Reconciliation Framework. This report was the result of over five years of SSHRC-funded research\, relationship building\, and collaboration across Canada between representatives of the Canadian archival community and Indigenous heritage professionals and practitioners. The Framework provides direction\, through recommendations for action\, to be taken by Canadian archivists who are ready to embark upon their own personal and professional journey towards reconciliation through respectful relationship building with Indigenous communities represented in their repositories. The Framework also serves to reinforce and support First Nations\, Inuit\, and Métis communities’ intellectual sovereignty over records by\, or about them\, and encourages the reconceptualization of mainstream archival theory\, practice and education. This webinar will feature five members of the Taskforce\, who will describe the process of developing the Reconciliation Framework\, an introduction to the Framework itself and the next steps in their work. In our discussion and Q&A\, members of the SAA hope to generate a discussion about how American archival and community colleagues might work together with Canadian colleagues on advancing Indigenous archival policies across these professional and national borders. \nhttps://www2.archivists.org/groups/native-american-archives-section/free-online-webinar-july-13-canada%E2%80%99s-reconciliation-framewor \nPresenter bios\nErica Hernández-Read is Head of the Northern BC Archives & Special Collections at the University of Northern British Columbia\, where she lives\, works\, and learns on the traditional\, unceded territory of the Lheidli T’enneh Nation (Prince George\, BC).

SUMMARY:Activismo y pensamiento archivístico latinoamericano: nuevas perspectivas investigativas en estudios de archivo desde el sur
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nActivismo y pensamiento archivístico latinoamericano: nuevas perspectivas investigativas en estudios de archivo desde el sur/Archival Activism and Latin-American Archival Thinking: New Research Perspectives on Archive Studies from the South \nDesde mediados del siglo XX\, Latinoamérica ha desarrollado un pensamiento archivístico poco reconocido y estudiado debido a la narrativa anglosajona y eurocéntrica que domina la construcción de la historia de la disciplina. Además\, desde el periodo colonial se han elaborado prácticas en relación con el resguardo\, la organización y la descripción de la información ligadas a las lógicas del poder de las Monarquías y posteriormente a los Estados-Nación\, configurando una tradición que sigue informando y condicionando la realidad presente de nuestros países. En la actualidad\, en cambio\, las archiveras y los archiveros han girado hacia un enfoque social y comunitario preocupado por contribuir a relevar el impacto social de los archivos y\, también\, a involucrarse en la creación de iniciativas contrahegemónicas y ligadas a la defensa y promoción de los Derechos Humanos. \nEn ese sentido\, este panel pretende visibilizar este conocimiento archivístico desde cuatro perspectivas: \n\nProblematizando la historia intelectual de nuestra profesión: el pensamiento archivístico latinoamericano de mediados del siglo XX (1959 – 1976)\nLos archivos coloniales o lo colonial en las prácticas archivísticas. Una reflexión desde el ejercicio archivístico en Colombia.\nArchivos de los desaparecidos: activismo archivístico de las familias contra la impunidad.\nActivismo archivístico: conformación del archivo del Paro del 28 de abril de 2021-Colombia\n\n El panel se realizará en Español. \nPresenter Bios\nAndrés Saenz\, Archivista y Bibliotecólogo.

SUMMARY:The Process and Implications of Books in Archival Studies
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThis session brings together four authors of recent books in archival studies that examine unique but entangled processes by which power circulates and is mobilized through archives. Together panelists discuss the processes and implications of book-length arguments for archival studies. Urgent Archives: Enacting Liberatory Memory Work (Routledge\, 2021) explores how minoritized\, identity-based community archives can liberate the records in their care for temporal autonomy\, self-recognition\, and resource redistribution. \nMichelle Caswell will talk about methods\, including using empirical data to generate archival theory\, and the process of writing a book from scratch (that is\, not based on a dissertation). \nIn Viral Cultures: Activist Archiving in the Age of AIDS (Minnesota\, 2022) Marika Cifor examines the archives that keep the history and work of AIDS activism alive and how contemporary activists\, artists\, and curators use records. Her talk will cover using archival ethnography and the process of developing a book from a dissertation for a university press and for an audience from across the humanities and social sciences. \nIn Producing the Archival Body (Routledge\, 2021) Jamie A. Lee uses storytelling to center the body as an integral part of the productions and politics of archiving. Lee will walk through their writing experiences along with working in queer archives. They ask: how does power circulate and how is it deployed in archival contexts in order to build critical understandings of how archives influence and shape the production of knowledges and human subjectivities? \nDocumenting Rebellions: A Study of Four Lesbian and Gay Archives (Litwin\, 2020) examines archives that were constituted with a common desire to preserve the memory and evidence of lesbian and gay people inluding the Lesbian Herstory Archives\, ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archive\, June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives\, and ArQuives. Rebecka Taves Sheffield will talk about using a narrative approach that draws from first-person accounts and archival research. She will also discuss the importance and challenges of writing for both academic and non-academic audiences. \nEach book advances archival scholarship to engender more just praxis.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Building More Equitable Relationships Between Archival Studies Scholars and Community Archives
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThis workshop builds on the principles and protocols proposed in the collaboratively authored white paper\, “‘Come Correct or Don’t Come at All’: Building More Equitable Relationships Between Archival Studies Scholars and Community Archives.” The white paper\, collaboratively authored between community archivists and archival studies scholars\, reported on a May 2021 two-day online workshop about the current state of academic research on community archives\, its impact on communities represented and served by such organizations\, and ways to envision and enact more equitable relationships moving forward. \nThe paper presented collaboratively-derived principles and protocols for building ethical\, more equitable partnerships between academic researchers and community-based archivists representing and serving minoritized communities. Our findings surfaced several damaging tendencies in academic research\, including: parachuting in\, knowledge extraction\, financial inequity\, and transactional consent. We then identified nine key principles for building mutually beneficial relationships between academic researchers and community archivists: relational consent; mutual benefit; investment; humility; accountability; transparency; equity; reparation; and amplification. In conclusion\, we proposed ways academic researchers can enact these principles via protocols for building more equitable research partnerships moving forward. \nIn this workshop\, we will discuss these findings with archival studies scholars\, and enable them to present real-world cases from their own research. Workshop participants will be encouraged to read the white paper prior to attending and to consider the relevance of the principles and protocols to their practices.  We will begin the workshop with a short introduction to the white paper (5-10 minutes) and then engage in a group brainstorming session to map principles and protocols to participants’ experiences of working with and/or in communities and to generate sets of questions to consider in more detail together\, through group discussion and/or breakout groups (depending on the size of the session). The session will also include time to identify and discuss any additional principles and protocols not covered in the white paper.  Participants will leave with a plan for more equitably working with and for communities. \nPresenter Bios\nMichelle Caswell\, University of California\, Los Angeles \nJune Chow\, University of British Columbia \nJennifer Douglas\, University of British Columbia \nKathryn (Kat) Rodriguez\, Indigenous Alliance without Borders/ Alianza Indigena Sin Fronteras \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=Workshop%3A+Building+More+Equitable+Relationships+Between+Archival+Studies+Scholars+and+Community+Arch&iso=20220713T17&p1=1440&ah=1 \nZoom details\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAvdeGvqjgsE9OTVBqXflHjHwO5AjgDHyDD\n\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:Short Paper Session
DESCRIPTION:Short Paper Sessions consist of three papers: \n\nSarah Hanahem: The Impact of Donor-Archivist Relationships on the Foundation of the McGill Archives\nBerlin Loa and Katherine Schlesinger: MLIS Education on Trauma-Informed Archival: Preliminary Research Findings\nMelvin Hale: Three-Track Mind – KBI – A Unified Theory of Visual Knowledge from Art Practice – AERI 2022 presentation (PDF)\n\nAbstract\nThe Impact of Donor-Archivist Relationships on the Foundation of the McGill Archives\nThe relationship between donors and archivists is inevitable when acquiring materials for archives. However\, the literature on donors and relationships between archivists and donors is sparse and concentrated on donor motivations and types.  The research project I am completing for my Master of Information Studies at McGill University concentrates on those relationships. More specifically\, the research focuses on the impact of donor-archivist relationships on the foundation of institutional archives. This will be accomplished through a content analysis of the early accessions files of McGill University Archives (1962-1968).  The first university archivist handled the archives between 1962 and 1968. From that time\, over 1000 accession files are available. Through analyzing accession files and related correspondence descending from those years\, this research looks at the types of relationships between donors and archivists and their impact on the foundation of institutional archives at the end of the twentieth century. \nAlthough still in the early stages of my research\, this presentation includes a short review of the literature on donors with key elements regarding the relationship between archivists and donors and its impact on acquisition and collections. The presentation also covers early findings from the accessions of the McGill University Archives. By highlighting these impacts\, this project proposes ways to move forward and ensure greater transparency on the donor-archivist relationship and its impacts on acquisitions. \nPresenter Bio\nSarah Hanahem\, MISt student\, McGill University \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\n\nAbstract\nMLIS Education on Trauma-Informed Archival: Preliminary Research Findings\nArchives contain records of trauma\, and can also generate trauma for those working with collections. Trauma-informed archival labor refers to instances when archivists experience symptoms of stress-related disorders including trauma while working with records that document traumatic events. This can also occur when archivists work with the survivors of traumatic events described in the records. Survivors may be donors\, interlocutors\, or users of the archives. \nPractitioners report that Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) education programs do not prepare scholars for the trauma they may encounter in the archives\, nor how to manage that exposure. Consequently\, archivists enter the field unaware of the potential risks of trauma\, how they might mitigate the risks\, or how to recognize and manage trauma symptoms. Additionally\, a review of the literature reveals a gap in information about trauma-informed archival labor and related MLIS curriculum. \nThe presenters will provide an overview of preliminary findings from a study conducted of faculty at ALA accredited USA-based MLIS programs. The research project explores the prevalence and nature of MLIS educational initiatives around the topic of trauma-informed archival labor\, as well as the level of faculty awareness of the topic\, and their attitudes towards including trauma-informed archival labor in future MLIS curricula. \nThis research was conducted by a graduate student at the University of Arizona School of Information as an independent study project under the guidance of faculty of the School of Information. The presentation will include an overview the research project including the background\, preliminary outcomes\, and recommendations to inform the field. \nPresenter Bio\nBerlin Loa\, Assistant Professor\, University of Arizona School of Information \nKatherine Schlesinger\, MLIS Graduate Student\, University of Arizona School of Information \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\n\nAbstract\nKBI – A Unified Theory of Visual Knowledge for Archives from Art Practice\nIn his seminal work\, Ways of Seeing\, John Berger states that “The relationship between what we see and what we know is never settled.” For this reason\, any theory of seeing must be open-ended and intellectually robust\, supporting perhaps\, the most qualitative of all paradigms: the individual. KBI is such a theory. KBI\, which stands for know\, believe\, imagine\, emerged from the art of colorizing black and white photos; art which has acquired hundreds of patrons and won numerous awards in juried competition. This art has been featured in trade magazines like Art Businesses News\, in which I was named a Trendsetter and Emerging artist. \nThis paper will examine the ways in which KBI can be used as an information framework in which to situate archival narratives. KBI requires critical seeing\, and is a rigorous construction for knowledge production from archival material\, which often entails the creation of archival descriptions. These are important questions\, and becoming more so in the age of “fake news” and “alternative facts.” KBI is a discursive system and framework which allows for an appropriate way to evaluate all information sources\, whether visual or not\, and if rigorously applied can be used to filter and appropriately situate data. \nPresenter Bio\nMelvin Hale\, Ph.D\, doctorate from UCLA\, Information Studies in 2014 \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=20220713T15&p1=1440&ah=1 \nZoom details\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0kduCopjMrH9DNZfIfqdnx6_MzyJyrLysi \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:Facilitating Archival Education and Research through New Media Collaboratively: A Chinese Practice of WeChat Public Account Operation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe WeChat public account “Lingnan Archives” operated by the archival research team of Sun Yat-sen University in Southern China is a fresh platform for advocating archival education and archival work. As one part of professional training for students majoring in archival science at different levels\, it aims to disseminate the value of archives and publicize the concepts as well as principles of archival work. The content of tweets is generally targeted on archival news in Southern China\, combined with current social events and hot spots which have correlations with archives and archivists. Some tweets of “Lingnan Archives” are designed in series\, such as the tweets introducing historical records of the Canton Customs and the tweets about Cantonese culture in archives. In terms of daily operation\, cooperation in groups among undergraduates\, postgraduates and post-docs is particularly encouraged for generating the content. When a tweet is finished initially\, the review of content will be conducted by the whole team members\, and senior experts in the team will give instructions from many aspects\, such as topic selection\, language expression and the format layout. Students’ class presentations and articles could be transformed into tweets\, which embodies the advantage of promoting teaching\, learning and research jointly. As for the effectiveness of “Lingnan Archives” operation\, it has forged the abilities of professional writing and new media maintenance\, facilitated all-round collaboration among students and researchers\, and provided necessary skills such as postgraduate entrance examination and job hunting for graduates. Also\, “Lingnan Archives” plays a significant role in disseminating Chinese archival culture and the concepts of fairness\, loyalty and justice in education towards archivists. Until April 30th\, 2022\, “Lingnan Archives” has nearly 7\,200 followers and has tweeted nearly 500 articles\, which has formed a remarkable social influence. \nPresenter Bios\nYike Zhan\, Ph.D candidate\, School of Information Management\, Sun Yat-sen University \nYang Chen\, Ph.D candidate\, School of Information Management\, Sun Yat-sen University \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=Facilitating+Archival+Education+and+Research+through+New+Media+Collaboratively&iso=20220713T03&p1=1440&ah=1 \nZoom details\nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://illinois.zoom.us/j/82576287737?pwd=clU2R3N0MHQ0Q01SZU1sV3pXVitBQT09Meeting ID: 825 7628 7737Password: 464928Dial by your locationFind your local number: https://illinois.zoom.us/u/kznEwF5Xy \nAccessibility details\n\nLive captioning\nAlt text for images/posters\n\nRecording\nThis session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube.

SUMMARY:Short Paper Session
DESCRIPTION:Short Paper Sessions consist of three papers: \n\nJeff Hirschy: Sites of Trauma and Remembrance: The Public History and Power of Hurricane Archives and Memorials in Mississippi\nDeborah Garwood: Archivists’ agency and archival self-image: Description as a meta-collaborative information practice\nQiuhui Xiao\, Yu Wang\, and Bowen Zhang: Decryption Management of the Classified Archives in China: an exploratory study based on grounded theory\n\nAbstract\nSites of Trauma and Remembrance: The Public History and Power of Hurricane Archives and Memorials in Mississippi\nWe like stories. From the earliest days around a camp fire to a TikTok video on a phone today\, humans have been drawn to stories. Sometimes they entertain us\, sometimes they provide us with lessons\, sometimes they help us explain the unexplained\, and sometimes they help us process trauma and remember. All of these things are why we are pulled towards all types of stories.  Especially in the aftermath of disaster\, we need to remember and we need to process trauma. Stories of those who were lost\, those who survived\, and what was lost\, are a central part of this. This happens in any disaster\, but especially in larger disasters like hurricanes. On the American Gulf Coast\, hundreds of hurricanes have struck the region. Each hurricane left behind stories. These stories are often placed in local archives and memorialized in local monuments and memorials. Once in these locations\, the stories and their newfound homes because sites of trauma and remembrance generating new stories and new public history and memories. Looking at sites in Mississippi\, specifically the University of Southern Mississippi and the Harrison County Public Library System\, one can see the power and public history of these sites and how they serve as sites of trauma and remembrance. \nPresenter Bio\nJeff Hirschy\, University of Southern Mississippi \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\nAlt text for images/posters\n\nRecording\nThis presentation will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube. \nAbstract\nArchivists’ agency and archival self-image: Description as a meta-collaborative information practice\nThis paper explores archivists’ agency and the formation of an archival self-image through reflection on the interpretive skill inherent in archival description. It is inspired by Richard Cox’s (1988) assertion that archivists’ scholarship on the archival profession’s history and archival administration advances the field. As a starting point\, I evoke the concept that archivists’ descriptions of resources\, composed in the course of processing\, constitute original intellectual work that merits recognition. Tendencies to regard archival description as preparatory\, invisible work relative to reference services and outreach undermine archivists’ agency. By contrast\, documentation practices for oral histories involve the interviewer and interviewee in the co-creation of metadata for the interview recordings. This co-created metadata not only serves the user-oriented purpose of discovery and access; it documents the collaborative roles of interviewer and interviewee in the creation of an original work. The oral history format\, in short\, exemplifies the work of socially constructed\, collaborative human information behavior in the creation and documentation of an information resource. By extension\, any sponsors of the oral history\, including the institution where it is preserved and information professionals who steward the resource\, are meta-collaborators on the work. The oral history format suggests a model for theorizing description as a meta-collaborative information practice. \nThis paper reports on preliminary research using qualitative content analysis techniques and grounded theory to investigate the documentation of 274 oral histories held in the Center for Oral History at the Science History Institute in Philadelphia. Research objectives include developing criteria for a purposive sample of 20th century women scientists’ oral histories and constructing a conceptual framework for theorizing archivists’ intellectual work on description as a meta-collaborative information practice. Anchoring this practice in archivists’ professional and personal agency highlights the formation of a socially constructed archival self-image in sync with contemporary audiences and social memory. \nPresenter Bio\nDeborah Garwood\, Drexel University \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\nDecryption Management of the Classified Archives in China: an exploratory study based on grounded theory\nUnder the overall national security concept\, the decryption management of classified archives in China is facing a complicated security situation and threats. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the current status of archival decryption management in China. Challenges to archival decryption management are summarized and solutions are proposed to promote the decryption management of the classified archives. \nTextual analysis and the grounded theory methodology was adopted. By means of legal text analysis\, the whole current situation of archival decryption in China was grasped. For data collection\, indepth interviews were conducted with archivists from 12 institutions in China. Data was collected from 12 representative institutions through oral interviews and telephone interviews. Data analysis was performed using the open coding\, axial coding and selective coding to explore the constraints of archival decryption. \nMain achievements of archival decryption are concluded in the principle of identification of the subject of archival decryption and the improvement of legal system. Problems are summarized as a lack of detailed regulatory and policy guidance\, liaison with the classification and confidentiality department\, awareness and capability of archival decryption. Solutions are proposed as follows: clarifying basic principles\, establishing a tripartite cooperation and dynamic coordination mechanism between archives\, security bureaus\, and encryption agencies\, improving the system of policies and regulations\, building a decryption risk-taking mechanism\, and adopting new technologies. \nThe study constructs a theoretical framework to identify the core factors affecting archival decryption. Corresponding solutions to the critical problems are raised to support policydeveloping in China and operational guidance for the practice of all kinds of institutions that implement archival decryption. \nPresenter Bio\nQiuhui Xiao\, School of Information Management Wuhan University \nYu Wang\, School of Information Management Wuhan University \nBowen Zhang\, School of Information Management Wuhan University \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=20220713T01&p1=1440&ah=1 \nZoom details\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://unimelb.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcvc-uopj4vH9VQ8iZrceSVl4hYijBQhuSa \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nRecording\nPart of this session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube.

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Mapping Records Continuum Futures
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nSince its emergence over thirty years ago\, Records Continuum Theory (RCT)—broadly encompassing thinking\, theory\, modelling\, and practice—has continued to evolve. Appropriately\, it is always in a state of becoming (McKemmish\, 1994). The archival community was much saddened to hear of the death of Frank Upward—one of RCT’s key creators and theorists—in July 2021. His passing is a great loss of a singularly creative continuum mind; one that challenged us to think boldly and expansively about recordkeeping and archiving in society\, and our professional role in its stewardship. \nIn his final paper\, Frank wrote of the need to think in terms of archival networks\, and develop continuum informaticians who could help “individuals\, groups\, organisations and societies to cope with the flickering of time and the constant expansion of the web of relationships in which everything exists” (Upward 2019\, p. 269). In Frank’s enigmatic way these simple terms are loaded with layers of meaning and nuance\, and also eschew a theory/practice divide\, prompting us to “tie together academia and workplaces in ways that creatively connect authoritative information resource management with the powerful evolution of information production” (Upward 2019\, p. 269). \nFrank was always a champion of the next generation of archival and continuum thinking; exemplified in his support for AERI. He delighted in the progressive and diverse conversations that would evolve over the week. In this spirit\, this session aims to illuminate emergent RCT research by inviting doctoral\, early career\, and other scholars to share their explorations and interpretations of RCT. \nThrough a two-hour roundtable discussion\, we hope to: \n\nreflect on and celebrate Frank’s legacy;\nmap existing and emergent continuum research areas\, and identify any common threads and foci; and\ncontinue to creatively interrogate and push the boundaries of our understanding of recordkeeping and archiving in the archival multiverse.\n\nPresenter Bios\nJoanne Evans\, Monash University \nElliot Freeman\, Monash University \nViolet Hamence-Davies\, Monash University \nAll participants will be invited to take part in the roundtable discussion. \nDetails\nRoundtable hybrid discussion with both physical (Monash University\, Clayton Campus) and virtual attendees.

SUMMARY:Short Paper Session
DESCRIPTION:Short Paper Sessions consist of three papers: \n\nCaitlin Christian-Lamb: “It’s About Who’s Been Missing”: Investigating Gaps between Theory and Practice of Social\, Reparative\, and Restorative Justice Work in Academic Archives\nAnna Robinson-Sweet: Picturing the Police Officer with His Pen: Photography and the Carceral Archive\nCharlotte Im: The Construction and Influence of Information Trustworthiness within Social Movements: A PhD Project in Progress\n\nAbstract\n“It’s About Who’s Been Missing”: Investigating Gaps between Theory and Practice of Social\, Reparative\, and Restorative Justice Work in Academic Archives\nThe early 2020s have been years of great change across the United States – amid a global pandemic\, George Floyd’s murder by police in Minneapolis focused national and worldwide attention on police brutality and anti-Black violence\, and the subsequent spate of protests around the world marked a shift in institutional acceptability of Black Lives Matter as a strategic priority rather than a “fringe” or radical view. Similarly\, while there has been a steady increase of published work on the relationship between justice and archives\, there have not been localized\, in-depth systematic studies of challenges to implementing and engaging in social\, reparative\, and restorative justice as an archival imperative within institutional settings. Academic archives in particular have begun to grapple with the legacies of slavery that build and funded many academic institutions\, and how this past continues to echo today through the experiences of students\, staff\, faculty\, and community members. \nMy dissertation research focuses on the intersections of social\, reparative\, and restorative justice and archival practice in academic archives settings\, using the University of Maryland and the 1856 Project as the primary case study – the newly established 1856 Project aims to “build an inclusive university community by enhancing the collective understanding of the Black experience at UMD.” Participant observation and interview data from the UMD case study will be triangulated with a supplementary interview study with archival practitioners at other academic archives engaging in justice work. \nThis research aims to provide a snapshot in time\, reflecting on archives’ challenges in implementing social\, reparative\, and restorative justice as an archival lens in the wake of anti-black violence in their communities. In capturing this moment\, I aim to provide a “gut-check” at a critical time in archival theory and practice\, illustrating how concepts of justice are implemented (or not) on the ground. \nPresenter Bio\nCaitlin Christian-Lamb\, University of Maryland \nAbstract\nPicturing the Police Officer with His Pen: Photography and the Carceral Archive\nThis paper takes up Tonia Sutherland’s conception of the carceral archive\, arguing that visual materials such as photographs are crucial to the carceral archives’ production of what Sutherland calls “carceral narratives.” Drawing on theorizations of photography and studies of police photographs\, I analyze a collection of historical images depicting police officers in the act of creating records. A critical examination of this material\, created in the 1960s and 1970s by Southern California press photographer Milton Bell\, reveals how these portrayals of police record making power support carceral narratives. Contrary to the apparently benign content\, this paper argues they are instead renderings of administrative violence. First\, the records depicted in the moment of their creation are a core technology for\, as Dean Spade puts it\, the state’s distribution of vulnerability and security. Second\, the perpetuation of this violence depends on the records’ inaccessibility and ultimately\, their erasure\, from the archive. Given these conditions\, I argue that the photographs such as Bell’s become surrogates for the record itself\, testifying to their reliability and extending their carceral power. This three-part interplay between the police record\, its subsequent erasure\, and the photographic representation underwrite the perpetuation of carceral narratives in which state records are trusted while remaining unaccountable. \nPresenter Bio\nAnna Robinson-Sweet\, UCLA \nAbstract\nThe Construction and Influence of Information Trustworthiness within Social Movements: A PhD Project in Progress\nThrough the passage of time\, social movements have taken many forms and definitions\, yet at their core\, social movements are a form of purposeful collective behaviour organised by individuals in society\, aiming to and capable of bringing change to society. In recent years\, social movements have shifted to and are orchestrated through a wider range of activities\, including online activism. A widened access to information provides opportunities\, but also brings accompanying questions and challenges. As individuals absorb information that concerns political upheaval and social change\, few pause to take note of whether the information that we accept passively is actually true. Misinformation and disinformation\, and the underpinning tools used to twist and spread misleading or unconfirmed facts\, have been an increasing issue on the internet. \nThis research aims to understand the complexity of how information trustworthiness is constructed within social movements\, and how its subsequent dissemination and comprehensions influences perceptions of trust and trustworthiness among social movement actors\, with a particular focus on social media and the digital space. I look at two case contexts: the Hong Kong protests from 2019 onwards\, and Black Lives Matter from 2020 onwards. Through this research\, I hope to develop the concepts of trust and trustworthiness as useful analytical tools\, of which social movements and mobilisation can be better examined\, and thus create an applicable definition that is meaningful to the social movement context. \nThis study uses a mixed methods research design. The first phase involves creating the frameworks for collecting and analysing data and outlining the wider context of which information can be studied within both social movements. Using social network analysis\, I will be constructing and analysing network graphs that capture how social movement participants interact on Twitter. This will be followed by a large-scale survey phase to understand the phenomenon from the perspective of participants. Finally\, the last interview phase narrows to focus on the perceptions and perspectives of information creators and disseminators across both of my case contexts. \nPresenter Bio\nCharlotte Im\, PhD candidate\, Department of Information Studies\, University College London \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=20220712T21&p1=1440&ah=1 \nZoom details\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://unimelb.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMufuCpqzgjGdQ9LbydzsD_F963wDY1VJSl \n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\n\nRecording\nThis session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube.

SUMMARY:Facilitating Data Re-use
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nA range of information scholarship has investigated data reuse in scientific communities (see Shiue et al.\, 2021; Wofford et al 2019; Pasquetto\, Borgman\, & Wofford\, 2019; Pasquetto\, Randles\, & Borgman\, 2017; Palmer et al.\, 2011; Wallis et al.\, 2013). Work in community and Indigenous archives has likewise explored how community-based users are accessing\, repurposing\, or accessioning existing data (e.g. Marsh 2022; Carpenter 2019; Powell 2016; Christen 2011). More broadly\, archival user studies have explored how scholars and other communities of use are repurposing and reusing archival collections (e.g. Torou et al. 2010; Anderson 2004; Tibbo 2003; Toms and Duff 2002). Yet\, there remain many disconnects between heritage collections and users\, particularly for communities of color and in specialized genres. \nScholarship studying the work of cultural heritage practitioners illuminates how practitioner biases often result in incorrect\, limited\, and even biased descriptions of historically marginalized populations. Failures here often result from the challenges present within binarized and essentialized frameworks of archival data description and cataloging (Ramirez\, 2015; Wagner\, 2022). Thus\, the importance of community involvement and co-creation of archival collections is well documented by scholars in the field (Evans 2007; Roued-Cunliffe and Copeland 2017; Somerville and EchoHawk 2011). Indeed\, scholarship suggests that communities will continue to engage in archival data production exclusive of institutions\, resulting in an absence of representation becoming the problem of institutions\, rather than a perceived lack of community involvement (Zavala et al.\, 2017). These self and communal protective practices mean that institutions interested in community engaged data co-creation\, must engage in practices of cultural humility\, as well as seek out community-defined models of data use\, description and access (e.g. Tai\, 2021). \nThis panel will focus on facilitating archival data reuse in cultural heritage collections via a range of community-oriented work\, drawing on interrelated projects with the National Agricultural Library\, Social Networks and Archival Context (SNAC)\, and the Library of Congress’ By the People platform. Through these projects we ask what data recovery and reuse means and can mean for different groups and communities\, and how various sociotechnical approaches can facilitate (or prevent) access\, reuse\, and impact over time. \nPresenter Bios\nPaper 1: Recovering and Reusing Historical Data: Investigating Data Curation Practices Across Disciplines \n\nKatrina Fenlon\, Asst.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Researching and Teaching Asian American Archives\, and the Experiences of Asian American Archivists and Archival Patrons
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWith the notable exception of the South Asian American Digital Archive\, Asian American archives\, archivists and archival patrons are largely absent in LIS literature and education. There are several reasons for this silence. First\, as a part of the racial middle\, Asian American issues are generally underdiscussed in the U.S. Second\, the “model minority” stereotype often discourages members of the community from truthfully discussing their needs\, and also leads many information professionals to think that our communities do not face any systemic discrimination. Third\, many LIS scholars we have spoken to do not feel that they have the knowledge or connections needed to undertake work on Asian American archives. \nOur presentation introduces an ongoing project at the University of Maryland aimed at increasing LIS research and education with Asian Americans.  A team of faculty and students is completing a comprehensive literature review that discuss existing literature and outline key areas for future research\, creating an online annotated bibliography that will allow for crowdsourcing to help LIS faculty find appropriate articles for their courses\, and producing a podcast series that can help to generate interest about the history of Asian American experiences in libraries and archives. \nOur goals for this 30-minute workshop include raising awareness about the absence of Asian Americans (beyond SAADA) in archival research and education\, and finding research collaborators for future projects. \nThe session will start with a progress report on our project\, followed by small-group brainstorm sessions during which attendees can discuss how Asian Americans can be incorporated in their courses and research\, and conclude with general discussion and networking. \nPresenter Bios\nEric Hung\, University of Maryland \nMea Lang Lee\, University of Maryland \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=Researching+and+Teaching+Asian+American+Archives%2C+and+the+Experiences+of+Asian+American+Archivists+a&iso=20220712T18&p1=1440&am=30 \nZoom details\nJoin zoom meeting: https://umd.zoom.us/j/8374051214?pwd=MHdGbVdaUytkSVM5Nkt1Z2V0VzBnZz09 \nMeeting ID: 837 405 1214Passcode: Toby_Razi \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\nAlt text for images/posters\n\nRecording\nThis session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube.

SUMMARY:Community-Based Archives and the Power of Naming Practices
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIn this panel\, we present findings from the IMLS-funded Community-Based Archives the Power of Naming Practices research project in which we worked with four partner archives – South Asian American Digital Archive\, SAADA; the Houston Area Rainbow Collective History\, Houston ARCH; the Chicano/a Research Center at Arizona State University; and the Arizona Queer Archives\, AQA. \nWe will define how we understand and deploy ‘naming practices’ and describe our research – to critically consider how we trace the provenance of the community-based archives themselves\, as well as how these practices shape the mission\, vision\, collecting efforts\, appraisal and description decisions within in each archival context. We will present focus group and interview excerpts to demonstrate the different relationships across community and institutional archival contexts and offer findings about origin stories and naming practices (J. Douglas\, 2016)\, resource mobilization and sustainability concerns\,  archival metaphors of space (M. Caswell et al.\, 2018)\, and borderlands logic in community archival contexts (Anzaldúa\, 1987; Licona 2012). Finally\, we critically reflect on our qualitative research process using the coding software\, Dedoose\, to apply codes pertaining to archivists’ positionalities within a “community” versus “institutional” discourse. \nWe propose that a both/and approach offers a much more generative and promising analyses. We ask\, what are the  potential epistemological limitations of this thematic analysis methodology that partially relies on binaristic\, hierarchical\, and Western knowledge production? \nPresenter Bios\nJamie A.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Using the backwards design model to create effective online courses
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nLSU’s archival studies program utilizes a unique online structure whereby students complete one course at a time in accelerated 7-week terms. The online courses follow a scaffolded structure with all course content and activities aligning with module\, course\, and programmatic learning objectives. Additionally\, the course designs follow a similar structure which provides students with a consistent look and feel throughout the program. \nThis two-hour workshop will provide participants with an overview of the approach utilized by the LSU Online program and is divided into four sections. Upon completion of the workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nCompose measurable and observable course outcomes module-level learning objectives and align course content with them\nDevelop an assessment strategy that includes both formative and summative assessments\nCurate course content following copyright and accessibility rules.\nCreate learning objects and activities\n\nSection 1: Designing your online course: This section introduces the use of backwards design model whereby we start with the end results of a course in mind\, specifically the course outcomes\, to help stay focused on prioritizing course content. \nSection 2: Curating content and learning resources: The resources in this section are designed to aid you in curating and creating learning resources for your course and reviews rules and guidelines including copyright and accessibility. \nSection 3: Using a course template: This section will review the how to create a consistent look and feel for the students and provide an overview of the LSU Online template. \nSection 4: Teaching your online course: This section provides strategies for how to engage with students through regular and substantive interactions (RSI) and your instructor presence\, as well as resources to help you prepare for the start of the term. \nPresenter Bios\nEdward Benoit\, III\, Louisiana State University \nAna Roeschley\, Louisiana State University \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=Using+the+backwards+design+model+to+create+effective+online+courses&iso=20220712T13&p1=1440&ah=2 \nZoom details\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://lsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEvf-2tpzMiG9xEa79KfDhvQZFeVQaFn9tQ \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\nAlt text for images/posers\n\nRecording\nThis session will be recorded and made available on AERI YouTube.

SUMMARY:Yarning about Indigenous Research and the Archives in Australia
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe presenters in this session have all had personal and professional experiences with archives. In approaching topics for research\, they bring with them their standpoints\, lived experiences and connections to their people and communities. These connections have guided the approaches and the values they bring to their research.  As researchers the presenters are all bound and guided by University ethics processes\, including completion and acceptance of the Ethics forms at the outset of the research. Herein lies the first of many dichotomies encountered when negotiating both university ethics and Indigenous research ethics during the course of a research project. For example\, from the perspective of a university ethics board prior relationships between research and participant are not ideal\, however Indigenous research ethics may require strong relationships and trust for the research to go ahead respectfully. Relationships built on respect and reciprocity are fundamental to the Indigenous research method of ‘Yarning’. Core principles of Indigenous research have been expressed by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) in their Code of Ethics (2020) to be related to the principles of Indigenous self-determination\, Indigenous leadership\, impact and value and lastly sustainability and accountability. A yarn is a respectful and relational way of sharing knowledge and communicating for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia. Through the process of yarning the presenters will discuss how they have navigated their research projects to meet university requirements and embed Indigenous research ethics in their approaches to undertake research that is culturally safe and an environment that supports Indigenous wellbeing. By participating in this session\, you will have an opportunity to understand the importance of yarning as a research method\, and hear how the presenters have approached their projects. \nPresenter Bios\nRose Barrowcliffe\, (Butchulla)\, Doctoral Candidate\, School of Business and Creative Industries\, University of the Sunshine Coast \nLauren Booker\, (Garigal Clan)\, Research Fellow\, Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education & Research\, University of Technology Sydney\, PhD Candidate\, University of Technology Sydney \nDr Shannon Faulkhead\, (Koorie\, Mildura)\, Head First Peoples Department\, Museums Victoria \nDr Kirsten Thorpe\, (Worimi\, Port Stephens)\, Senior Researcher\, Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research\, University of Technology Sydney \nNarissa Timbery\, (Koori\, Yuin Nation\, South Coast N.S.W.)
