The live Q&A will not be live captioned. \nAbstract: This webinar will capture the broad range of activities occurring across the archival profession to educate\, train and provide support for archivists responding to the affective\, and sometimes traumatic nature of archives\, and to ensure archives are safe and empowering places for them\, their colleagues\, and their users. It will bring together archival professionals and educators to discuss the types of education around issues of trauma-informed archival practice and archival action\, activism and education more broadly. Contributors will highlight the multiple avenues for people to undertake education relevant to their work– formal education\, continuing education and professional development and training\, and informal opportunities. They will consider how students and professionals can be supported when dealing with difficult or traumatic material\, content or situations. They will discuss how this support is being built into education programs and professional practice including through the trauma-informed archives community of practice\, and the impact this has on pedagogy. This webinar will feature short videos from archival professionals and educators working to create trauma-informed content to support collaboration across all facets of archival education and the profession. It will emphasise the benefits in providing training\, support and resources around trauma-informed archives. It will conclude with a live Q&A with Nicola Laurent and Kirsten Wright\, the organisers of this session. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes

SUMMARY:Panel: Caring for Collections: Accessioning and Effective Archival Stewardship
DESCRIPTION:PANEL: Caring for Collections: Accessioning and Effective Archival Stewardship\nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://yalelibrary.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJctdeGvqDMqGNKP-ykEz6_-E9FMNKOSocK6 \nSpeakers:\n\nRosemary K. J. Davis\, Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library\, Yale University\nMeaghan O’Riordan\, Stuart A. Rose Manuscript\, Archives & Rare Book Library\, Emory University\n\nAbstract:\nArchival accessioning is often defined as taking physical\, legal\, and intellectual custody of newly acquired collection material. But this simplistic definition does not reflect the human experiences of physical\, intellectual\, and emotional labor–which can include juggling logistics\, managing donor relations\, and providing quick access through arrangement and description–performed during accessioning. \nIn 2019\, Rosemary K. J. Davis\, Accessioning Archivist for the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University\, and Meaghan O’Riordan\, Accessioning Archivist for the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript\, Archives & Rare Book Library at Emory University\, embarked upon a research project to examine archival accessioning labor throughout the United States. This research focuses on a deep examination of current accessioning labor with an accompanying analysis about ways to make this work more visible and effective. \nTheir talk will provide an overview of their research to date\, which includes a labor survey and multiple site visits. In particular\, Davis and O’Riordan will delve into a collaborative element of their project: the recently launched Best Practices for Archival Accessioning Working Group. Currently\, every organization develops their own unique accessioning workflows because–while arrangement and description\, public services\, and instruction protocols are developed using existing recognized best practices–there are no established standards for establishing and managing a comprehensive accessioning program. This working group aims to develop a suite of adaptable\, holistic workflows that can be used to implement and strengthen accessioning practices throughout the field. \nDeveloping a better understanding of how repositories define and navigate accessioning is crucial illuminating the and bringing visibility to the labor involved to performing special collections stewardship rooted in transparency and mutual trust between all parties. Through this forum and their research\, Davis and O’Riordan hope to kickstart thoughtful conversations within the profession about how to empathetically and efficiently care for collections through well-defined accessioning best practices. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes

SUMMARY:Workshop: Advancing an Agenda for Online Archival Pedagogy
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP: Advancing an Agenda for Online Archival Pedagogy\nPlease register via the link below: \nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAudu6gqDMqEtRtdvQ7TiWUCWWgwe0TaaFU \nAfter registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the session. \nSpeakers:\n\nHeather Soyka\, Assistant Professor\, School of Information (iSchool)\, Kent State University\nKaren F. Gracy\, Professor\, School of Information (iSchool)\, Kent State University\nEdward Benoit\, Associate Professor and Associate Director of the School of Library & Information Science\, Louisiana State University\nSarah A. Buchanan\, Assistant Professor\, School of Information Science & Learning Technologies (iSchool)\, University of Missouri\nDonald C. Force\, Associate Professor\, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Information Studies\n\nAccessibility details:\nWe plan to use live AI (automatic) captioning via Zoom and Otter.ai. \nAbstract:\nSituated within the shifting landscape of graduate education\, the development and delivery of online education has continued to change\, grow\, and perhaps started to stabilize. Graduate programs that provide online archival education in various forms (including asynchronous\, hybrid\, synchronous\, and more) share the common goal of educating and shaping new archival professionals and archival scholarship with location-based offline programs. Yet graduate educators teaching online have unique needs and challenges that merit the development of pedagogical plans and inclusive conversations about meeting the needs of archival students that are not geographically and synchronously congregated in a physical classroom. Further\, online programs often require consideration of different methods and models for scaffolding\, setting up necessary conversations\, and building networks that will serve students as they move into the profession. \nThis proposal for a workshop on online archival pedagogy\, to be held during AERI 2021\, sets out two goals: 1) to convene archival educators interested in advancing scholarship related to online archival pedagogy and its challenges/opportunity; 2) to identify and set out an agenda for archival education that identifies areas of need and is inclusive\, responsive\, and reflective of the gaps in discussing how to address the needs of the online classroom for the future of the archival profession. \nWorkshop schedule/agenda: \n\nIntroductions and sharing of online teaching experiences/interests (15 minutes)\nDiscussion of audiences for online education (similarities and differences to in-person audiences; particular needs of online students; assessment of online student learning and engagement) (15 minutes)\nIdentification and exploration of opportunities and challenges specific to archival studies online programs (30 minutes)\nInitial sketch of research agenda for online archival pedagogy (30 minutes)\n\nWill this session be recorded for the AERI 2021 YouTube channel? Yes\, we are willing to record/ share this on the closed AERI channel\, with notification to participants at the start that it will be recorded and shared.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Teaching About/In Community Archives: Workshopping Strategies for Teaching Equivocal Archival Practices
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP: Teaching About/In Community Archives: Workshopping Strategies for Teaching Equivocal Archival Practices\nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://pitt.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0uc-qvpjwtGd0zNdWUhKUy0JUAbdIe7Wm9 \nSpeakers:\n\nJane Thaler\, University of Pittsburgh\nChelsea Gunn\, University of Pittsburgh\n\nAccessibility details:\nSlides\, prompts\, any complimentary materials\, and the collaborative document will be made publicly available both in advance of and after the workshop. Alt text will be provided for any visual components. Live transcription will be enabled. \nAbstract:\nAs instructors in MLIS programs\, we have found that many students begin their studies with a desire for firm guidelines and best practices. At the same time\, we have observed steadily growing student interest in community and personal archives\, areas which sometimes ask us to productively break the rules of “traditional” archival practice. This liminality can be uncomfortable for students as they attempt to reconcile the perceived tensions between community/personal and professional archival practices. These tensions also reveal themselves when we teach archival practice in community settings. Professional archivists and community archives increasingly work in dialogue with one another. Our reflections on the shifting modalities between archival instruction within and beyond the MLIS classroom have prompted us to critically reexamine how we understand and teach archival theory and practice in both environments. This workshop invites participants to share and reflect on their experiences both teaching personal/community archives to MLIS students and working with/teaching community. How do these pedagogical practices inform each other? What strategies do we use to address these divergences? How does our work with community archives inform that work? Participants of this workshop will collaboratively produce a shared document of practices\, resources\, challenges\, and goals that have informed their approach to teaching community/personal archives. The collaborative document will remain accessible as a shared\, ongoing resource after the workshop has ended. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 YouTube channel? No

SUMMARY:Short Papers: Archival History
DESCRIPTION:SHORT PAPERS: THEME – ARCHIVAL HISTORY\nChair: Jane Zhang \nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://cua.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMlfumsrjorGddLOrCuyb43Nww4TBF5BqKY \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n  \nPapers:\nExploring the value and meaning of professional work: a recent history of religious archivists in Ireland  \nSpeakers:\nDr Elizabeth Mullins\, University College Dublin \nAbstract:\nThis paper describes current work which focuses on the recent history of archivists in religious organizations in Ireland. The repositories of many of these organizations have been the focus of much public attention in the context of processing the history of institutional care in Ireland in the 20th century. Religious archives have also been the subject of scholarly comment that has highlighted the immense value of their records to the broader history of Ireland. In the midst of this kind of commentary\, the voice of the archivist has been relatively quiet. Recent research that has been carried out by archivists has focused on describing the content of holdings\, the history of institutions and the pastoral function of archives but has not generally connected to archival theoretical literature. This project begins to address this neglect. The research seeks through means of a literature review and resulting survey to describe the experience of being an archivist in a religious organization in contemporary Ireland\, focusing on areas such as appraisal\, access\, organizational context\, and emotional labor. The research will also explore if it is possible to link the idea of writing a history of the profession with a discussion of the values and meaning which sustain archivists\, particularly when working in contested spaces.  In this sense while focusing on a specific group of professionals the research seeks to contribute to contemporary discussion around the role of affect and the extent to which meaning matters in archival work. This paper will introduce the contemporary context\, research design and status of this on-going project. \nThe Historical Context and Stage Characteristics of Archives Administrative Supervision in China \nSpeakers:\n\nYao Jing\, School of Information Resource Management\, Renmin University of China\nJia Xiaoshuang\, School of Information Resource Management\, Renmin University of China\nXu Yongjun\, School of Information Resource Management\, Renmin University of China\n\nAbstract:\n“Archives administrative supervision” is a system of supervision and inspection of archives work with Chinese characteristics. It emphasizes that the department in charge of archives should supervise and inspect archives work in the administrative areas based on the administrative authority according to law. The purpose is to strengthen archives management and standardize archives work; The subject is the Archives Bureau at all levels; The objects cover the archives work from central to local; The content includes the implementation of policies and the punishment of illegal archives activities; The methods include on-site archives supervision and inspection\, etc. Based on the perspective of historicism\, this paper uses policy analysis method to analyze the relevant archives laws and regulations. Taking the promulgation time of the Archives Law in 1987\, 1996\, 2016 and 2020 as the dividing node\, the development history of Chinese archives administrative supervision is divided into four stages: brewing stage (1949-1987)\, germination stage (1987-1996)\, development stage (1996-2020) and strengthening stage (since 2020). In the brewing stage\, there was lack of legal basis\, weak supervision consciousness and unclear supervision subject; In the germination stage\, the overall supervision framework had taken shape from no law to having law\, from scattered regulations to special regulations; In the development stage\, the legal work had achieved fruitful results\, and the subject\, object and content had been further clarified; In the strengthening stage\, the new revision of the Archives Law in 2020 has achieved a “qualitative leap” and put forward new requirements for the reform. By combing the historical context and summarizing the characteristics of four stages\, this paper summarizes the following its five historical evolution characteristics: First\, supervision laws are increasingly perfect. Second\, supervision subjects emphasize coordination. Third\, supervision objects change with the times. Fourth\, supervision content is constantly enriched. Fifth\, supervision means are gradually diversified. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes

SUMMARY:Keynote: Professor Sue McKemmish
DESCRIPTION:KEYNOTE: Prof. Sue McKemmish\nModerator: Dr Joanne Evans \nRegister for this session here: https://forms.gle/1Sxii9kcPKQZQ7w3A \nBio: I have been immersed in recordkeeping and archives for over four decades\, first as an archivist working for the National Archives of Australia and the Public Record Office of Victoria. Joining Monash in 1990\, my research focused on Records Continuum theory and conceptual modelling\, recordkeeping metadata\, and smart information consumer portals. My theory-building and modelling work on the Records Continuum has continued throughout my career. In more recent times\, as my Continuum thinking and modelling have continued to evolve\, I have focused on community-centred\, participatory recordkeeping and archiving\, and rights in records in the context of social justice and human rights agendas\, complemented by ethics of care\, particularly in response to advocacy by those with lived experience of Out-of-Home Care\, and First Nations peoples in Australia. Developing inclusive\, reflexive research design and practice in partnership with communities has been a guiding principle. \n \nDigital Equity through Data Sovereignty\nEmerita Professor Sue McKemmish \nwith Associate Professor Joanne Evans\, Dr Shannon Faulkhead\, Dr Frank Golding\, Associate \nProfessor Gillian Oliver\, Dr Greg Rolan\, Kirsten Thorpe \nImagine global digital equity — real equity\, beyond mere access to technology. We envision a world where information is used to sustain and nourish communities\, families\, and individuals; a world where discourses around data\, and ethics and privacy have shifted away from an exclusive focus on commercial considerations towards technologies for humanist self-actualisation; and\, importantly\, a world where marginalised and displaced peoples can establish and maintain rights in their information\, as a crucial\, but currently unmet\, foundation for exercising their human rights. \n-(Digital equity through data sovereignty: a vision for sustaining humanity – paper presented at Sustainable Digital Communities\, iConference 2020\, Borås\, Sweden) \nDigital equity is a global issue\, a societal grand challenge in both developed and developing contexts. By definition such a wicked problem needs transdisciplinary and international engagement – across the data and information sciences\, IT\, cybersecurity\, information cultures\, information literacy\, and a host of domain-specific disciplines such as First Nations studies\, ethics\, law\, the arts … \nKey research areas include transnational information ecologies and cultures\, data sovereignty\, rights-based approaches to meeting information\, identity\, memory\, cultural heritage\, evidence and accountability needs\, community empowerment\, the co-design of people-centred systems and technologies\, and equitable\, ethical and accountable governance frameworks. \nFollowing an overview of digital equity as a societal grand challenge with particular reference to the recordkeeping and archival field\, the Keynote paper focuses on Data Sovereignty and the potential contribution of transformative recordkeeping and archiving research and practice. \nFirst Nations peoples around the world are claiming Data Sovereignty and defining data extensively in ways that are inclusive of records and archives. They point to how data has been weaponized against them in colonial-settler societies\, and plays a critical role in the ongoing colonial project. Records held in government and non-Indigenous organisations and institutional archives are repositories of data (broadly defined as inclusive of information and records) created about and collected from First Nations people from the time of invasion. Indigenous Data Sovereignty is central to First Nations Sovereignty and self-determination. Conventional\, western colonial data and recordkeeping practices dispossessed Indigenous people of their cultural material and knowledge\, and were instruments of colonialism\, with records and archives being weaponised against indigenous peoples since colonisation and continuing to be used against them in the digital environment. \nIn Australia\, the Indigenous Data Sovereignty Communique Maiam nayri Wingara 2018 – https://www.maiamnayriwingara.org – addresses all individuals and entities involved in the creation\, collection\, access\, analysis\, interpretation\, management\, dissemination and reuse of data and data infrastructure in Australia. The Communique defines Indigenous data\, data sovereignty and data governance broadly as follows: \n\n‘Indigenous Data’ refers to data\, records\, information or knowledge\, in any format\nor medium\, which is about and may affect Indigenous peoples both collectively and\nindividually;\n‘Indigenous Data Sovereignty’ is the right of Indigenous peoples to exercise\nownership over Indigenous Data; and\n‘Indigenous Data Governance’ refers to the right of Indigenous peoples to\nautonomously decide what\, how and why Indigenous Data are collected\, accessed\nand used.\n\nHow will/should the recordkeeping and archiving field respond? UNICEF has recently issued a Manifesto entitled The Case for Better Governance of Children’s Data. It draws attention to the way data\, broadly defined\, has been weaponized against the best interest of the child – through surveillance cultures\, predictive analyses that amplify bias and discrimination\, data profiling and the use of data to manipulate behavior\, and failure to address issues of consent\, child protection and representation. With reference to children in refugee settings\, it points to the amplified impact on vulnerable children. The Manifesto identifies 10 actions that could progress child-centred\, child rights-based data governance\, including greater agency for children and their communities in policy making and data management. \nThe Keynote will explore the role of data sovereignty in the digital world\, and in enabling the actualisation of human rights. While an inability to exercise agency in data affects many\, it disproportionately impacts marginalised and displaced peoples. The paper will discuss participatory Australian research projects undertaken in partnership with communities\, which aim to contribute to a future where data\, broadly defined\, is neither weaponised nor exploited\, but considered as sovereign to individuals\, families and communities\, for example Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities\, and members of the Out of Home Care community with lived experience of the Care system\, including Indigenous children and young people\, and Stolen Generations.

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Anti-Racist Pedagogy in Archives and Digital Curation
DESCRIPTION:ROUNDTABLE: Anti-Racist Pedagogy in Archives and Digital Curation\nPlease register for this session using this link: \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYldemqrTkpGdC8Mt3_WLiGoowqOofc-gG8 \nPanelists:\n\nSumayya Ahmed (Simmons University)\nPatricia Garcia (University of Michigan)\nAngela P. Murillo (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis)\n\nModerator:\n\nRicardo L. Punzalan (University of Michigan)\n\nAbstract:\nRecent events such as the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on minoritized communities\, ongoing police brutality and anti-Black violence\, and the increasing number of Asian hate crimes have produced calls for action across communities. Although they are recent\, these events represent historical patterns of racial violence and systemic racism within the U.S. that require an honest reckoning with our past and present\, including the legacies we continue to uphold in our academic institutions. If we\, as archival educators and researchers\, are to contribute to a more just future\, we must examine the University’s complicity in upholding structural racism and the role of educators in achieving racial justice by developing an anti-racist pedagogy. In this roundtable discussion\, speakers and participants will answer the question: What constitutes anti-racist pedagogy(ies) in archives and digital curation? The speakers will answer this question and share their own approaches and practice. This session aims to unpack what anti-racist pedagogy in archives and digital curation actually means not only in terms of what we teach\, but also how we teach. It will also address the challenges (untenured) faculty of color face when trying implement anti-racist pedagogies including reprisals or being ignored. This roundtable discussion will have an interactive approach and will invite participants to join in the conversation. We view the roundtable as an opportunity to continue to conversations that began during the July 2020 Community Forum and hope to further flesh out ideas that were surfaced through the conversation into an actionable vision of how anti-racist pedagogies could and should shape how we teach archives and digital curation at our institutions. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes.

SUMMARY:Short Papers: Digital Information Management
DESCRIPTION:SHORT PAPERS: THEME – DIGITAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT\nChair: Allison Tyler \nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwvdeGtqT8sEtRJcfZ3ZLs1xa2FcHqQd21C \n  \nPapers:\nLinked Open Data – a means of future-proofing the archives sector? \nSpeaker:\nAshleigh Hawkins\, University of Liverpool \nAccessibility details:\nZoom auto live captioning \nAbstract:\nSince 2010\, the archives sector has been engaged in incorporating Linked Data\, and subsequently Linked Open Data (LD)\, into description and other archival processes. Evidence of the benefits of LD for archives was provided by early projects\, including the LOCAH and Linking Lives projects undertaken by the UK’s Archives Hub\, a trio of projects at King’s College London\, and the Australian Architectural Practice in Post-war Queensland project. The evidence base has subsequently been expanded by more recent projects\, such as the ongoing Linked Jazz project at the Pratt Institute School of Library Information Science\, and the Finnish BiographySampo and WarSampo projects. Over the past few years\, investment in LD has also been seen both at the national and international level with many cross-sectoral collaborations\, including the Towards a National Collections Project\, publication of the Europeana Linked Open Data service\, OCLC’s Project Passage\, and the ICA’s development of the Records in Contexts Ontology. While there has been some scholarly examination (Gracy\, 2015; Niu\, 2016)\, individual case studies dominate the discussion\, sharing tried and tested processes and methods essential to help implementers plan future projects and inform the development of best practices and guidelines. However\, in focusing on the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of LD\, few have interrogated why archives should invest\, and what the benefits might be. Drawing on PhD research examining current perceptions of the benefits of LD for archives\, this work in progress paper considers the extent to which LD may offer a means of future-proofing the archives sector. In questioning the extent to which it improves archival processes\, the potential it offers for expanding the profile of the GLAM sector\, and examining evidence of increased sustainability of archival metadata\, I will present one of the key arguments for archival investment in LD. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel?

Through the official accounts\, relevant subjects can realize all-round communication and interaction with specific groups\, including text\, pictures\, voice\, and video. Since its launch in 2012\, the WeChat official account has gradually become an important platform for various organizations to display themselves\, enhance their influence\, and facilitate users with its unique advantages. The archives are also actively relying on WeChat official accounts to carry out publicity services. As of January 11\, 2021\, there are a total of 487 archive WeChat official accounts in effective operation in China\, which act as propagandists of archives knowledge\, broadcasters of archives work and communicators with profile users. Under the above background\, the authors adopt the content analysis method and select the top ten WeChat official accounts ranking in the 2020 China’s Archive WeChat Official Account List as the statistical samples\, after basic analysis\, we further extract the information content released by the sample\, then perform content coding and visual analysis according to the six indicators of title\, keywords\, number of views\, number of views\, release form\, and language style. Finally\, we summarize the content and form\, characteristics and highlights of Chinese archive information dissemination. We hope that this research can provide some suggestions for the optimization and improvement of China’s archives WeChat official accounts. \n  \nResearch on the Problems Existing in the Transfer of College Student Archives in China \nSpeakers:\nWang Zican\, School of Information Resources Management\, Renmin University of China \nAbstract:\nPersonnel archive is an important feature of China’s personnel management system. It is the evidence of personal identity\, educational background and qualifications. Generally speaking\, student archives are an important part of personnel archives. According to the principle of ” personnel archives transfer with people “\, the archives of college graduates should be transferred from the school to their work units. At this time\, student archives will officially become personnel archives\, which are closely related to personal wages\, social labor security and membership credentials. Therefore\, it is particularly important to realize the smooth transition from student archives to personnel archives\, which is the purpose of transferring student archives. The smooth transmission of student archives is not only related to the change of their study and work identity\, but also related to the integrity and continuity of their personnel archives. However\, there are many chaotic phenomena such as abandonment\, loss and damage of student archives in reality\, which leads to the continuous fracture of their personnel archives\, which not only affects the integrity of their personnel archives\, but also has a negative impact on their future work and life. This paper attempts to explore the reasons behind the chaos\, and puts forward the corresponding solutions. Specifically\, this paper will conduct a questionnaire survey and interviews with the groups who have handled the business of student archive transfer. The survey found that the confounding of transfer methods\, the opacity of transfer process and the lack of understanding of the importance of archives transmission are the three major reasons that affect the quality of transfer of student archives. Based on this\, this paper believes that standardizing the transfer methods and implementation rules\, promoting the transparency of the transfer process and enhancing the propaganda of the importance of archives transmission are the solutions to related problems. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel: No

SUMMARY:Short Papers: Occupation and Extraction
DESCRIPTION:SHORT PAPERS: THEME – OCCUPATION AND EXTRACTION\nChair: Kirsten Wright \nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://unimelb.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZModOGsqTooH9GnOXJHbo5v-HcNLcmspJJo \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nPapers:\nYarning about Indigenous Cultural Safety in Australian Libraries and Archives \nSpeakers:\nKirsten Thorpe\, Monash University (PhD\, Faculty of IT) Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education & Research\, University of Technology Sydney \nAbstract: This paper discusses the methods utilised in the doctoral research project which focuses on Indigenous Archiving and Cultural Safety in Australian libraries and archives. Broadly\, the doctoral research investigates the ways in which libraries and archives can negatively impact Indigenous peoples wellbeing through a failure of producing information and recordkeeping systems that can best meet their cultural and community needs. It explores the ways in which colonial legacies continue to be embedded within the structures of libraries and archives and how these legacies impact the cultural safety of Indigenous peoples in Australia. This includes examining the potential for information and records to cause harm to those people who work\, access and use the records. Whether within physical spaces\, systems\, policies\, or procedures that support library and archive structures. This presentation will discuss the research design utilised in the doctoral studies to support respectful engagement with Indigenous research and engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research topics. This includes utilising yarning (Bessarab\, 2012) as a method\, the use of autoethnography (Bainbridge\, 2007) for deep reflection as well as drawing on Archibald’s (2008) Indigenous Storywork principles as method to present relational research. \nSettler Colonialism and Archives in Rhodesia: A Case Study of the Delineation Reports  \nSpeakers:\nChido Muchemwa\, Faculty of Information\, University of Toronto (Ph.D. student) \nAbstract: In 1980\, Zimbabwe gained independence from Britain and inherited the National Archives of Zimbabwe. The colonial legacies within the Zimbabwean archives have primarily been studied through the postcolonial lens. However\, in the paper\, I make an argument for the utility of examining the archive through the settler colonial lens. Settler colonial studies as a field has primarily interested itself in the histories of North America and Australasia at the expense of the settler colonial projects of 20th century Africa. However\, the failure of these settler projects does not minimize their lasting influence on the archives of postcolonial states like Kenya and Zimbabwe. I use delineation reports\, chieftaincy records collected by colonial officials\, as a case study for the enduring legacies of settler colonial archives. While delineation reports are often cited in scholarship\, there have been few studies of them as an object. There is no published history of their creation\, use or how they are treated in the archive. In this paper\, I argue that it is important to contextualize the delineation reports as an administrative tool of the settler state to understand what the treatment of these records in the Rhodesian archives tells us about the archives role in supporting the settler state. This article uses delineation reports as a case study for how the Rhodesian settlers used the archives to solidify their story of the natives\, a story that would justify taking the land. \nAboriginal Archives in Italy – a space for reciprocal collaboration \nSpeaker:\nMonica Galassi – PhD Candidate in International Studies\, Faculty of Arts and Social Science at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS)/Research Associate at the Indigenous Archives and Data Stewardship Hub at the Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research at UTS. \nAbstract: Displaced archives related to Aboriginal histories and experiences are widely disseminated across Europe\, often unknown to communities and researchers alike. These archives are entangled in multiple layers of power and interests\, therefore there is no agreed framework to manage their access and return to their communities of origin. But what happens when understudied Aboriginal displaced archives in Italy are redirected to their communities of origin? This paper introduces doctoral research about Aboriginal records displaced in Italian institutions. Through mapping and translating a sample of these records and facilitate access to their communities of origin\, I reflect on the opportunities that this space provides. This analysis draws deeply from Indigenous Decolonising methodologies and approaches\, as well as my own standpoint of being an Italian woman living and working with Aboriginal Peoples and Communities. I argue that opening spaces for dialogue between institutions and communities provides invaluable opportunities to support Aboriginal data sovereignty\, increase knowledge of colonial history and contribute to the international theoretical debate around displaced archives. \n  \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 YouTube channel?

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Secret Recordkeeping Agents: Supporting Participatory and Radical Recordkeeping in Statutory Structures
DESCRIPTION:ROUNDTABLE: Secret Recordkeeping Agents: Supporting participatory and radical recordkeeping in statutory structures\nRegister for this event here: https://forms.gle/rhcL7vV8BRqdAWH49 \nSpeakers:\n\nJoanne Evans\, Monash University\nRebecka Sheffield\nMichaela Hart\n\nAccessibility details:\nWe will provide accessibility guidelines for those presenting their stories using visual material. \nAbstract:\nCalling all archival and recordkeeping scholars investigating participatory recordkeeping problems and solutions in unexpected or unfamiliar places. Are you often the sole archival and recordkeeping voice at the table? Do you find yourself advocating for a range of stakeholder accountabilities\, evidence and memory management needs to be factored into frameworks\, processes and systems? Are you concerned with the impacts of digitization and datafication on government and community services? Do you believe that good recordkeeping must lie at the heart of citizen/person/human-centred services and that participatory archival minds must be part of their design? \nWhether located in academia or practicing in the field\, join us for a roundtable discussion and policy sprint aimed at developing a participatory recordkeeping research\, education and advocacy agenda for public and community sector services. \nKey questions: \n\nHow do we bring critical and community archival mindsets to bear on the digital challenges of public and community sector recordkeeping?\nHow do we address the imbalance of recordkeeping power between the citizen and the state?\nWhat role does recordkeeping need to play in protecting human rights\, and upholding transparency and accountability as data-driven and algorithmic technologies transform public and community services?\nWhat are the recordkeeping frameworks and infrastructure to achieve that?\n\nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel?

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Panel: Identifying and enacting generous scholarly practice
DESCRIPTION:9:00pm GMT \nHow can we identify\, embody and model generous scholarship and scholarly practices at every career level? While some of us use individual strategies\, including for example feminist citation strategies and ethics of care\, this panel seeks to engage the wider AERI community in discussion about how to evolve as a generous research community. In this panel\, we explore together how we can follow through on our shared commitment to working within the academy’s ethically compromised spaces in ways that do not just imbricate ourselves into the hierarchies of power\, but work to subvert\, undermine\, open doors\, and make different ways of working and doing possible. \nCurrent events and attitudes\, including the global Covid-19 pandemic that led to the cancellation of an in-person AERI 2020\, the pandemic’s disproportionate harms on Black\, Brown and Indigenous peoples that have shown in stark relief systemic structures of oppression\, and the protests for Black liberation and lives across the United States after the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police\, make the topic of generosity in research and scholarship still more urgent. What kinds of generosity are required within research and scholarly communities to acknowledge the effects of white supremacy\, patriarchy\, xenophobia\, and other oppressive forces and to support the BIPOC\, LGBTQIA2S+\, and women scholars who are disproportionately affected? \nWorking with the belief that generosity will contribute to fostering an inclusive\, just\, supportive\, generative and creative research community\, this panel aims to 1) identify the characteristics of generous scholarly and research practice; and 2) develop shared strategies for enacting it. \nPanel plan: \n\nFacilitators will briefly introduce themselves and their motivations for holding the panel; through personal stories/examples\, each facilitator will briefly sketch their ideas about generosity and what it means to them.\nSmall group brainstorming sessions in breakout groups to discuss the following types of questions: What does generosity look like? Where is it needed? What does it feel like? Why is it important?\nSharing small group discussions with the larger panel group.\nSmall group strategizing sessions in breakout groups to discuss how generous scholarly practices can be enacted and to identify strategies we can start employing immediately and others that need more resources.\nSharing small group strategizing with the larger group and identifying potential resources\, collaborators\, future actions\, etc.\n\nNotes will be taken in a google doc that can be shared with all session participants as well as publicly. Depending on the outcome of the discussions held in the panel\, the facilitators may co-author a generous scholarly practices manifesto and/or plan a follow-up workshop for AERI 2021. \nPanelists: Marika Cifor\, Jennifer Douglas\, Jamie A. Lee\, Tonia Sutherland

SUMMARY:Workshop: Continuum Modelling
DESCRIPTION:12:00am – 2:00am GMT \nSince the creation of the Records Continuum Model (RCM) in the 1990s\, numerous scholars have used it to ground their own ideas and research\, and as a basis for further visualisation and articulation of records continuum thinking. This has led most recently to the exploration of continuum models and modelling for radical and participatory recordkeeping. \nAs Rolan (2017) describes: \n “ … any treatment of participatory engagement with records that attempts to solve problems of severe disenfranchisement requires a continuum approach—the Records Continuum Model to deal with the complexity of records and a Participatory Recordkeeping Continuum Model to understand the complexity of participatory agency.”  \nAnd as Jarvie\, Rolan & Soyka (2017) noted in their introduction to a special issue of Archives & Manuscripts on radical recordkeeping the need for \n“… disruption of traditional recordkeeping paradigms in revolutionary or profound ways using different approaches that inform practice\, scholarship and teaching.” \nIn this workshop we aim to explore the use of continuum modelling in participatory and radical recordkeeping contexts. What concepts and ideas do we need to be able to model? What does the RCM Model help to explain and what does it struggle to make sense of?  \nThis event is an opportunity to share experience and ideas in modelling recordkeeping in the continuum and to identify areas for future work. \nJarvie\, K.\, Rolan\, G.\, & Soyka\, H.
