Lee\n\nSession format:\nThis session can be held virtually\, using Zoom and the functionality it allows to use breakout rooms. One of the panel facilitators will host the meeting\, which can be password protected. \nDescription:\nAt last year’s AERI\, Marika Cifor\, Jennifer Douglas\, Jamie A. Lee and Tonia Sutherland facilitated a conversation on generosity in archival research\, scholarship and praxis. This year\, Marika\, Jennifer and Jamie will again make space for a community conversation about generosity\, why we need it\, what it looks across pedagogical and professional archival contexts\,and how we—individually and collectively—enact it. Acknowledging the various and unequal pressures\, losses\, worries and fears members of the AERI community have experienced over this past year\, we aim mostly to hold space for discussion. We ask upfront: How has generosity been demonstrated–or not–in the AERI and broader archives community this year? What kinds of generous acts and behaviours are particularly needed right now and how do we enact them? What pressures constrain generosity and how do we resist them? Faced with these pressures\, how can we continue to 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 will continue our discussion from last year to 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.

Against the backdrop of “the new liberal arts”\, many Chinese universities have taken measures to reform their archival education. In this panel\, the faculty from six universities in China will share the measures they have taken to reform archival education. \nRenmin University mainly focuses on the curricula reform. The issues including why initiated the curricula reform\, what are the characteristics of the new curricula system and what challenges for archival education the reform has brought about will be discussed. \nSichuan University has launched a teaching reform project called Future Archives lab. The issues including how the new liberal arts is understood in the teaching practice of archival science in Sichuan University; what innovative teaching activities are designed; what are the results of the teaching reform\, and what implications could be for archival education will be talked. \nHeilongjiang University will share their experience in mentoring student innovation projects and thus cultivating students’ innovation abilities. \nTianjin Normal University will demonstrate the reform of “archives compilation course”. This course reform takes the cultivation of practical abilities as its goal and storytelling as its education point. They have reformed the course from three levels: concept\, contents and methods. \nShanghai University will show how they use the project “Memory of Shanghai University” (“Shangda Memory “for short) to conduct archival practice teaching. \nZhengzhou University of Aeronautics will explain their virtual simulation experiment of archive exhibition which reproduces the interactive and gamified archive display scene\, constructs archive exhibition resources with ideological and political connotation\, restores the whole process of archive exhibition and its teaching requirements.

This burgeoning oral archival landscape brings up an opportunity to question  how history is made through the collection and preservation of individual narratives in the postcolonised present. Departing from the historical erasure instituted from 1947 onwards\, this lecture delves into what it means to listen to such voices after colonial rule and division\, and some of the challenges that arise from engaging with the archives of partition and the creation of India and Pakistan. I will speak about what I tentatively term as partition’s sonic condition\, which through the archives propagates certain norms of legibility and silences through practices of memory-making and preservation. \n\n\nBio:\n\nSyma Tariq is a PhD student\, writer and radio producer. Her doctoral research – Partition as a sonic condition: listening through the postcolonised archive – is being undertaken at the Centre for Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP)\, University of the Arts London. It focuses on the discursive and temporal separations embedded in histories of the 1947 partition of ‘British India’ through sonic-archival forms and processes. The impact of colonial division on historical destruction and on listening is a key concern for her practice. Syma holds a Masters in History of Political Thought from the University of Sussex and a BA (Hons) in Journalism and Contemporary History from Queen Mary University of London. She is a recipient of an AHRC TECHNE award.

Additionally\, digital records face risks of improper handling\, corruption and alteration\, unauthorized access\, accidental erasure\, among other problems. These issues necessitate continuous discussions amongst information professionals including records managers and archivists on how best they can be circumvented in the face of changing technologies. Hence\, digital curation has gained world-wide acceptance and recognition today as a sound strategy for ensuring continued accessibility of digital assets. I therefore propose a panel for the discussion of issues surrounding digital curation\, which will include sharing of case studies from different countries and organizations around the globe. The proposed panel discussion will provide a forum for digital curation experts\, researchers and information practitioners to share knowledge and shape the digital curation agenda for the future\, including review of the current digital records curation curriculum. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel?

Maryland\, U. Missouri\, Kent State U.\, and Clayton State U.\, aims to develop an online national collaborative network for integrating computational thinking (CT) into library and archival education and practice. This IMLS-funded project brings together educators\, practitioners\, and researchers to design pedagogical tools and resources that archival educators can use to introduce graduate students to computational science principles and practices. The CT approach encourages archivists to break down large-scale digital records challenges into manageable components and create solutions that combine archival data and code to create accessible archival records. \nEducators involved with the project will present their experiences designing courses\, learning objectives\, and activities to incorporate computational science principles and practices into graduate archival studies courses including introductory/foundational courses\, archival description\, digital preservation/curation\, and digital humanities. In addition to sharing their stories\, the educators will engage with participants to help them brainstorm ways that computational thinking can be adopted by other educators. The workshop also aims to generate a list of requirements and needed resources to successfully integrate computational thinking into the mainstream of archival pedagogy at the course level and the program level. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel? Yes. Presentations can be recorded; other parts of session (discussion/brainstorming in breakout rooms will not be).

Para esto se exponen dos trabajos que abordan de forma general las tradiciones archivísticas en América Latina y la investigación en el área en Iberoamérica con el fin de plantear a los asistentes un panorama general. A su vez se presentan dos estudios de caso relacionados con la gestión documental y los archivos orales y comunitarios. Esta muestra incluye trabajos realizados desde cuatro latitudes diferentes: España\, Chile\, Colombia y Nueva York que ratifican el compromiso con el desarrollo archivístico disciplinar y aplicado. \n  \nResúmenes de las cuatro comunicaciones: \nTradiciones archivísticas en América Latina. María Cristina Betancur. \nAmérica Latina ha recibido influencias de diferentes tradiciones archivísticas a lo largo de su historia. Estas influencias han moldeado la concepción de los archivos en la actualidad y han orientado las prácticas archivísticas que se llevan a cabo en esta región. Entre estas tradiciones se puede enumerar\, la tradición archivística española durante el período colonial hispano; las tradiciones europeas que relacionan los archivos con el altar de la nación en el siglo XIX; el Records Management norteamericano a mediados del siglo XX y recientemente la tradición de continuidad australiana\, entre otras. Se presenta un breve recorrido por el desarrollo de la tradición archivística latinoamericana y algunos ejemplos por países. \nCaracterización de la investigación archivística en Iberoamérica: \nDesafíos y proyecciones. Alejandra Santelices \nSe presenta un panorama de la investigación archivística iberoamericana\, centrado en el análisis de la producción científica registrada en las bases de datos Web of Science Core Collection y Scopus en el período 2001-2020. A partir de una investigación con diseño no experimental\, descriptivo longitudinal\, que utiliza metodología mixta\, se indaga en las tendencias de investigación\, utilizando técnicas descriptivas y bibliométricas para dimensionar los procesos de producción de conocimiento en archivística. Adicionalmente\, desde la tradición cualitativa\, se busca conocer las principales líneas de investigación que se han desarrollado en la disciplina\, a partir del análisis de contenido cualitativo de los estudios publicados en ambas bases de datos. Los principales resultados apuntan a establecer la geografía de publicación de la producción científica iberoamericana\, los hábitos de publicación de la comunidad de investigadores\, las tendencias en materia de comunicación científica\, la forma en que se llevan a cabo los procesos de colaboración científica\, el peso de la investigación iberoamericana en el contexto global y los principales objetos de estudio abordados. De esta forma\, se pretende dimensionar cuáles son los desafíos que se presentan en materia de investigación científica en archivística y proyectar las posibilidades de colaboración científica en el contexto iberoamericano. \nGestión de documentos orientada a la continuidad sostenible del negocio. Fátima Rodríguez \nBajo la hipótesis de que la gestión de documentos es estratégica para la continuidad del negocio y la sostenibilidad de las organizaciones en entornos digitales y cambiantes\, se profundizará en el estudio interdisciplinar de la dirección estratégica de las organizaciones y la dirección de proyectos\, para plantear propuestas técnicas en las que el diseño y la gestión de los documentos se orienten a la consecución eficiente de los objetivos organizacionales\, desde la perspectiva de la continuidad del negocio y su sostenibilidad. Se espera poder consolidar los datos de esta investigación en una metodología\, un modelo de información o un conjunto de directrices para la gestión de documentos de las organizaciones orientada a la continuidad sostenible del negocio. \nAyuda Mutua Queer en el marco de COVID. Oscar Zamora Flores. \nDurante la pandemia\, las redes queer en Nueva York se han movilizado para apoyar a sus comunidades. En el distrito de Queens\, organizaciones como Love Wins Food Pantry y Free Clothing Queens han operado en bares gay locales\, han sido organizadas por drag queens y han cooperado para compartir recursos en las comunidades LGBTQ y más allá. Esta presentación detalla el proyecto Documentando Ayuda Mutua Queer\, que colecciona historia oral de organizadores locales y agregandolos a la colección de Queens Memory. La presentación luego expondrá los hallazgos preliminares de la investigación y considerará los próximos pasos para el proyecto. \n  \n¿Se grabará esta sesión para el canal de Youtube de AERI2021?

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

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

Due to extreme high numbers of enforced disappearances in Colombia (120\,000 –going up dramatically at the moment within the context of the current protests)\, one of the TJ mechanisms created was the Unit of Search for Disappeared Persons (UBPD). Its mandate is the protection of the families’ right to know the truth regarding the fate of victims. The UBPD applies a humanitarian and extrajudicial approach to the search\, meaning it does not attribute responsibility. This approach is implemented to ensure that information is shared more easily in a context where information about violations is often withheld or manipulated to avoid accountability and for fear of reprisals. \nThrough interviews and document studies\, this inductive and qualitative investigation describes the UBPD’s access to records of  the different parties to the conflict (the Government & the FARC)\, looking into the information barriers the UBPD has experienced in its collection of data\, and whether\, or how\, they are overcome. An investigation of information-sharing within a humanitarian and extrajudicial framework highlights the extent to which access to information and records is possible\, the challenges that arise and how they may be met in a  context of a weak state with historically high levels of distrust and a strong administrative bureaucracy. \nWhat is the relationship of the UBPD with the different government offices and the FARC? To what extent is there compliance\, willingness or adversarialism? What are the barriers to information and how are they overcome? \nThe paper is part of a larger doctoral project that investigates the role of archives in Colombia in the context of enforced disappearance. \nThis session will not be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel \n  \nThe Amplification Project: Documenting\, Preserving\, and Sharing Art of Forced Displacement \nSpeakers:\nDr. Kathy Carbone\, UCLA \nAbstract:\nFormed in 2019\, The Amplification Project: Digital Archive for Forced Migration\, Contemporary Art\, and Action is a public\, participatory community-led digital archive of art and activism inspired\, influenced\, or affected by forced displacement. The Amplification Project offers a platform for artists\, activists\, and other cultural producers to document\, preserve\, and share work in any medium that narrates or contemplates lived or observed experiences of exile\, crossing borders\, seeking asylum\, detention and refugee camps\, and refugeehood. I co-founded and direct The Amplification Project with an international group of artists\, curators\, and activists: Biba Sheikh\, Vukašin Nedeljković\, Elizabeth Shoshany Anderson\, and Pinar Öğrenci. Since launching the archive in mid-2020\, fourteen artists worldwide have submitted over 100+ photographs\, digital images of visual artwork\, photo- and illustrated narratives\, and videos. Through the notions of “slow activism” (Wallace Heim) and socially engaged archival practice\, in this paper\, I reflect on the origins and development of The Amplification Project and its community\, our current work\, and future aspirations. I also ask: What role can participatory community-led digital archives play in today’s evolving conversations about forced migration\, asylum\, and refuge? What kinds of solidarity building and collective action can archives do in support of asylum seekers and refugees? \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel?  No URL:https://aeri.website/event/short-papers-diasporas-and-disappearance/ CATEGORIES:Virtual AERI 2021 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20210715T230000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20210716T010000 DTSTAMP:20260424T180225 CREATED:20210605T142302Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210624T152534Z UID:2760-1626390000-1626397200@aeri.website SUMMARY:Panel: Exploring Archival Recovery and Reuse Across Disciplines DESCRIPTION:PANEL: Exploring Archival Recovery and Reuse Across Disciplines\nRegister for this event here: \nhttps://umd.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EjRiA_Z5SEyBZ3fgJSobOg \nSpeakers:\n\nCaitlin Christian-Lamb\, University of Maryland\nCooper Clarke\, University of Maryland\nKatrina Fenlon\, University of Maryland\nHannah Frisch\, University of Maryland\nDiana Marsh\, University of Maryland\nHilary Szu Yin Shiue\, University of Maryland\nSelena St. Andre\, University of Maryland\nVictoria Van Hyning\, University of Maryland\n\nDiscussant:\n\nChristine Borgman\, University of California\, Los Angeles\n\nAccessibility details:\nRecording with live captioning \nAbstract:\nIncreasingly\, recognition of the vast value of data lying dormant within archives and cultural collections has spurred various efforts toward data rescue\, recovery\, and reuse within and beyond cultural institutions. These initiatives include but are not limited to crowdsourcing (e.g. Evans 2007; Ridge\, ed. 2014; Van Hyning\, 2019)\, efforts to salvage politically vulnerable scientific data (Janz\, 2018)\, and efforts to extract computationally amenable research data from within collections to support novel reuse across disciplines. Yet\, despite the substantial and growing literature on data reuse and curation to support reuse (e.g.\, Borgman\, 2016; Tenopir et al.\, 2015; Akmon et al.\, 2011; Palmer et al.\, 2011; Schöch\, 2013; Poole & Garwood\, 2020; Padilla et al.\, 2019)\, many stakeholders’ attitudes towards\, and practices of archival data recovery and reuse remains uneven and siloed. \nChristine Borgman’s monograph Big Data\, Little Data\, No Data (2015) broadly maps and deeply explores this complex\, multidisciplinary landscape\, arguing that “[t]hese are collective challenges\, best addressed as knowledge infrastructure issues. The more stakeholders who come to the table\, the deeper the conversation is likely to be” (273). Our Recovering and Reusing Archival Data (RRAD) Lab\, formed at the University of Maryland iSchool in Spring 2021\, studies the systems and communities of practice involved in cultures of recovery and reuse\, to identify convergent\, flexible\, scalable solutions to these persistent and pressing issues. \nIn this panel\, our team of early career archival and information scholars will ask of three interrelated projects exploring these collective challenges: Where are the gaps in collective efforts toward data reuse across a range of institutional contexts? What barriers confront different disciplinary communities? How can archival practice\, structures\, and norms support data reuse? \nWe will share a historical data reuse case study from the National Agricultural Library\, anthropological data reuse at the National Anthropological Archives\, and opportunities and challenges for the reuse of volunteer-generated crowdsourced data.

The research project\, “Exploring New Frontiers in 21st Century Archival Education\,” aims to explore the historical trajectory and current state of archival education and to build capacity in master’s level archival curriculum. As part of this research\, the project has collected comprehensive curriculum data from existing archival graduate programs and conducted semi-structured interviews of full-time tenure-track archives faculty listed in the Society of American Archivists’ (SAA) Directory of Archival Education (https://www2.archivists.org/dae). The former (curriculum data) sheds light on how archival education is currently taught in graduate programs in the context of the SAA Guidelines for A Graduate Programs in Archival Studies (GPAS) curriculum (https://www2.archivists.org/prof-education/graduate/gpas/curriculum). The latter (semi-structured interview data) helps explore the perspectives of current archival faculty regarding the biggest challenges facing archival education and potential changes in the archival curriculum in the next decade. The proposed 20-minute paper presentation will discuss findings\, which\, collectively\, reflect the foundations we rely on\, obstacles we must overcome\, and directions we may move in to develop graduate archival curriculum to meet the needs of the 21st century archival education. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel?

I will employ PowerPoint’s accessibility checker and accessible design best practices (font\, colors\, size\, and more). \nAbstract:\nOver the course of the Spring 2021 semester\, students in a “Community Archives” course in New York University’s Archives and Public History program engaged in a semester-long collaboration with CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities\, a grassroots community group that works to build power across diverse poor and working class Asian immigrant and refugee communities in New York City. The course\, which is cross-listed between the archives and public history tracks\, aims to provide students with a strong theoretical grounding in anti-racist\, community-based archival practice while directly engaging in the messiness and ethical complexity of community collaboration. \nCAAAV\, founded in 1986 as the Community Against Anti-Asian Violence\, initially focused on responding to the root causes of violence in 1980s and 1990s\, as well as opposing NYPD violence against all People of Color in NYC. Taught during a dramatic and frightening rise in anti-Asian violence\, the course used CAAAV’s informal archive to contextualize present-day events within a long history of anti-Asian violence and community responses in NYC and beyond. This presentation will provide a case study on uniting social movement and mutual aid solidarities with archival pedagogy in the classroom to teach students how archives can be impactful tools for liberation\, while simultaneously providing direct support to grassroots campaigns for racial and economic justice. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel?

While discussions of what the balance between theory and hands-on practice should be in an introductory course\, how to craft critical and inclusive syllabi\, and how to include the multiplicity of key archival ideas remain central in the mind of archival instructors\, teaching in 2020 and 2021 has brought additional challenges: changing modes of instruction and/or assignments to incorporate an online-only environment\, how to best support students during a pandemic and a sustained period of police brutality and unrest\, and how to empower them to enter the profession equipped to confront the current challenges facing the field. Pandemic pedagogy itself offers a challenge for instructors\, requiring critical thinking through how to introduce a new cohort of archivists to the world they operate in. Drawing inspiration from the title of Punzalan’s (2017) open letter to archival students\, this workshop will consider how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected introductory archival pedagogy\, what’s changed and what may be worth holding on to when the crisis moves into its next phases. \nWorkshop speakers will introduce the major challenges of teaching introductory courses and discuss their own experiences\, followed by breakout room discussions and exercises designed to identify priorities in teaching introductory courses. Outcomes of the workshop include establishing an AERI syllabus repository and producing working documents such as crowdsourcing suggested modules\, readings\, and assignments for introduction to archives courses. The organizers of this workshop envision that this session could establish a regular\, ongoing conversation at AERI around introductory archival courses. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 YouTube channel?: Partially URL:https://aeri.website/event/workshop-becoming-and-archivist-in-a-time-of-uncertainty-and-unrest-teaching-introduction-to-archives-courses-in-the-current-climate/ CATEGORIES:Virtual AERI 2021 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20210716T170000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20210716T180000 DTSTAMP:20260424T180225 CREATED:20210605T162253Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210624T155753Z UID:2807-1626454800-1626458400@aeri.website SUMMARY:Short Papers: Education (II) DESCRIPTION:SHORT PAPERS: THEME- EDUCATION\nChair: Kathy Carbone \nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0tdOigqzkrE9c1-kEfCuvehxDhTHpmMkg8 \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n  \nPapers:\nCurricular and Experiential Impacts of the Public Broadcasting Preservation Fellowship \nSpeakers:\n\nSarah Buchanan\, University of Missouri\nRebecca Benson\, University of Missouri\nEric Saxon\, University of Missouri\nAntanella Tirone\, University of Missouri\n\nAccessibility details:\nTranscribed\, captioned slides provided. \nAbstract:\nAudiovisual archiving is a national priority with a narrowing technical window of opportunity\, especially for audiotape material. GBH\, the Boston-based public broadcaster\, partnered five graduate archival education programs with a local public media station in order to both expand area representation in the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) via original public media programs\, and to build audiovisual preservation capacity in the archives and records profession nationwide. Graduate students enrolled in the archival programs could complete a semester-long Fellowship in 2018. Faculty Advisors comprised a cohort of archival educators who each met regularly with the Fellows on their campus\, with a Host Mentor at the station\, and with a Local Mentor with AV expertise to establish equipment and space for inventorying\, cataloging\, digitizing\, and ingesting local media as a Special Collection in the AAPB – a collaboration between GBH and the Library of Congress. In addition to project documentation and demonstrations\, Fellows contributed to the development of lesson plans and curricula on audiovisual preservation in their MLIS degree program. On our campus the Fellowship coincided with the launch of new Archival Studies courses designed to meet students’ expanding career targets and programmatic guidelines of national organizations (SAA GPAS and ALA Standards\, and internationally the iSchools’ preservation of information goal). Audiovisual preservation and digitization therefore occupied from the outset a place of prominence in the Archival Studies curriculum that will form the core of discussion in this presentation\, and the Fellows’ input ensured that AV archives remain formative to subsequent students’ experience. The presentation will detail campus-specific contributions to the IMLS-funded partnership\, including hands-on skills development\, training webinars\, peer instruction workshops\, mentorship\, evaluation\, future planning\, collection growth\, and promotion of the primary sources made newly available for research. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel?

However\, archivists report feeling unprepared for the changing nature of archival instruction and the growing expectation that they will support student learning. Thus\, as the role of archivists in undergraduate education continues to expand\, there is an increasing need to provide professional development opportunities that better prepare archivists to promote student learning and primary source instruction. In this paper\, we address the following research question: How does a sustained professional development experience influence how archivists see their role in teaching and learning with archives? In order to address this question\, we focus on the experiences of archivists who participated in the “[anonymized] Fellows Seminars\,” a five-year research project to develop effective pedagogical practices for undergraduates through sustained engagement between faculty and archivists. We recruited eight archivists to participate via two cohorts. We collected data using a semi-structured interview technique designed to gather qualitative data on broad areas of interest related to the archivists’ motivations for participating in the seminar\, views of faculty domain and archival expertise\, professional experiences interacting with faculty\, knowledge of teaching and learning with primary sources\, views on collaborative opportunities between archivists and faculty\, and general experience participating in the seminar. Our findings demonstrate that sustained professional development experiences between faculty and archivists affirmed the archivists’ professional expertise\, increased their pedagogical awareness\, and helped them gain a broader perspective on the impact of their archival work. Our findings also revealed the need to better account for power relations in faculty-archivist relationships when designing collaborative professional development opportunities. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel?

Archiving such records is a productive and important endeavour that is vital to maintaining our collective history. Nevertheless\, the impact of such work on archivists has been largely neglected. In response to this issue\, in June 2019 Wendy Duff and Henria Aton carried out a pilot research project and presented results at AERI. \nIn 2020\, we began a three-year\, SSHRC-funded project in collaboration with the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto (PIs: Wendy Duff and Cheryl Regehr). Drawing from expertise in both disciplines\, 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 objectives of this research 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. In our presentation for AERI 2020\, we will share preliminary results from interviews with archivists and discuss the experience of working across disciplines in order to produce broader and more rigorous scholarship. \n  \nExpanding Creatorship: Archival Affect and Networked Creation \nSpeaker:\nBethany Radcliff\, University of Michigan School of Information PhD student \nAccessibility details:\nAI captioning (via zoom)\, or whatever the preferred method is! And I will include alt-text for any images. \nAbstract:\nIn this work-in-progress paper presentation\, I will discuss my recent master’s report\, which I am revising into an article that I plan on submitting to a journal soon. I hope to invite feedback as I work on this revision. I will discuss the limitations of creatorship alongside archival power and lingering notions of neutrality obscure the nuanced\, creative\, and affective contributions of the archivist\, whose decisions influence the way collections come to exist as sources of information. Affect is a “force” that is “unruly\,” and is “deeply implicated in how we live\, form subjectivities\, connect and disconnect\, desire\, take action\, and practice difference\, identity\, and community” (Cifor 2021\, para. 1). Tracing affect and its movement into the archival realm\, I argue that the archivist’s creative contributions are recognized through an understanding of their affective experiences. Kathleen Stewart’s (2007) Ordinary Affects alongside feminist new materialist theory provides a framework for understanding affective experience in archival processing. This complicates creatorship\, making the archivist a co-creator in a network of creatorship which I argue is seen clearly through work in personal archives. Through interviews with six archivists who work at memory institutions at the University of Texas at Austin\, I learned that affective moments are interwoven in archival work\, and often contribute to the way a collection exists in the world\, but co-creative networks of creation complicate this. Bringing awareness to traumatic or sensitive affective experiences makes a place for training and protection in the archival profession. Better understanding the affective impact of archival collections and capturing this experience adds a meaningful layer to memory work. Recognizing affective experiences makes place for an archival future that pushes against the patriarchal power of archival authority and makes a place for preserving more fluid and diverse memories.

We’ll make sure the recording and powerpoint presentation meets ADA requirements. \nAbstract:\nArchival repositories in America\, especially in Arizona\, are dominated by white narratives that promote white supremacy\, settler colonialism\, and dehumanize Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPOC) who have lived on this land for centuries. The Community-Driven Archives (CDA) Initiative and Labriola National American Indian Data Center at Arizona State University (ASU) Library is actively addressing inequities and erasure by empowering BIPOC and Queer communities through educational workshops and events. We promote life-long learning by showing people how to preserve their own history for future generations and create intergenerational and intersectional safe spaces that encourage community healing\, acknowledge historical trauma\, and begin to change patterns of anti-blackness\, racism\, homophobia\, and transphobia\, all products of colonialism within BIPOC and Queer communities. \nMoving beyond archival theory\, this presentation will share our lived experiences as BIPOC and/or Queer archivists at a predominately white academic institution as well as how we are decolonizing archives by promoting solidarity\, equity\, justice\, and sovereignty. Our CDA teams and community members are challenging the way historical records are created\, redefining what an archive is\, what should be included\, who should have access\, and how cultural protocols influence community archives. We seek to show how academic institutions can center community needs and knowledge\, implement CDA theory and practice\, and dismantle power structures that dehumanize BIPOC and Queer communities. \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel?

Documenting the Effects of COVID-19 on Funded Archival Institutions DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nHumanities organizations continue to seek support after the start of the global pandemic. In reflecting on the year 2020\, the only way to tell the stories of America’s Archives is through communicating with the Archivists themselves. The American Library Association (ALA) spotlight the resilience\, determination\, and innovations of library workers in unprecedented circumstances. Their publication The State of American Libraries: Special Report: Covid-19 provides a closer look at the vitality our libraries provide to our nation\, our people\, and community. Librarians were quickly reassigned and went from disseminating information to becoming our community’s “second responders.” Can this be said about Archivists working in repositories? Preservation institutions? What happened to collections and services? \nLyrasis\, a non-profit organization serving and supporting libraries\, archives\, museums\, and other cultural centers\, shared a Pandemic-Survey conducted in the fall of 2020\, documenting what it was like to collect archival materials during this time. The survey highlights those archives closed for months without environmental monitoring by staff. Archival consultants believed that disaster response assistance with pests\, mold\, and water leaks may be needed once buildings were reopened. Other archives\, however\, were granted limited access by non-archival staff. This included facilities and other staff permitted to work on-site in 4% of responses\, while 21% of archives surveyed identified library administration or department heads having access to collections (p.10). \nAccording to the Lyraris survey (2020)\, despite many institutions surveyed not having consistent access to their archives\, 49% decided to continue collecting physical materials. One aspect the survey did not cover is what happened to the archives that remained closed and were not able to reopen. Who decided that these institutions should close? What happened to jobs and most importantly what happened to the collections? This study aims to answer these questions by using the SAA (Society of American Archivists) core values: \n\nAcquire\nIdentify and preserve\nAccess and use (digital & physical)\nService to community (DEI)\nAdvocacy.\n\nPresenter Bio\nAnastasia Weigle\, Ph.D. Assistant Professor\, University of Maine Augusta \nVanessa Reyes\, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Instruction\, University of South Florida \nDetails\nThis poster will be uploaded and made available on AERI YouTube. \nAccessibility details\n\nAI captioning\nAlt text for images/posters URL:https://aeri.website/event/poster-are-archivists-essential-workers/ LOCATION:Zoom details will be provided CATEGORIES:Virtual AERI 2022 ORGANIZER;CN="Joanne Evans":MAILTO:joanne.evans@monash.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220712T053000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220712T063000 DTSTAMP:20260424T180225 CREATED:20220618T053147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220707T041017Z UID:3038-1657603800-1657607400@aeri.website 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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
