SUMMARY:Poster: Are Archivists Essential Workers? 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

SUMMARY:EVWG Working Plenary
DESCRIPTION:Ethics and Values Working Group Plenary\nHere are the plenary Zoom meeting details: \nTopic: AERI EVWG Plenary \nTime: Jul 16\, 2021 09:00 PM Universal Time UTC \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://lsu.zoom.us/j/9903423084?pwd=MWlnSkxGeGJTcElLeGFVZW90bmJEUT09 \nMeeting ID: 990 342 3084 \nPasscode: AERI2021 \nOver the last several years\, the Ethics and Values Working Group has collaborated on the formation of codes of conduct and processes of care at AERI. While the last year has put a pause in this conversation\, we strongly feel that ethics and values are a priority for AERI and that the whole AERI community should have input in how these are expressed and enacted. While we do not expect to have any definitive answers by the end of Friday’s plenary\, we do hope that we can keep this conversation going towards tangible results. \nFor this plenary\, our plan is to have a wider discussion about AERI as an ethical and accountable community. To get this process started\, we will first discuss the existing materials that have been developed thus far\, most importantly the drafts of the Code of Conduct and Processes and Practices. If you can\, please take a look at these linked documents and please make any comments on them. This is a collaborative process\, and we welcome your input! \n

SUMMARY:Panel: Community-Driven Archives Initiative: BIPOC and Queer Solidarity and Collective Power
DESCRIPTION:PANEL: Community-Driven Archives Initiative: BIPOC and Queer Solidarity and Collective Power\nPlease register in advance for this session:  https://asu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HtDkc5eJRpOyHsSGrWxa0w \nAfter registering you will receive a confirmation email with details about joining the meeting. \nSpeakers:\n\nAlex Soto – Assistant Librarian\, Labriola National American Indian Data Center\, Arizona State University (ASU) Library\nNancy Godoy – Associate Archivist\, Chicano/a Research Collection\, and Interim Head of Archives\, Arizona State University (ASU) Library\nJessica Salow\, Project Archivist\, Community-Driven Archives Initiative\, Arizona State University (ASU) Library\nLourdes Pereira (Hia-Ced O’odham and Yoeme)\, ASU Student Archivist\, Labriola National American Indian Data Center\, Arizona State University (ASU) Library\n\nAccessibility details:\nWe’ll be using zoom to record our panel presentation. 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? Yes

SUMMARY:Short Papers: Affect and Emotion
DESCRIPTION:SHORT PAPERS: THEME- AFFECT AND EMOTION\nChair: Mario Ramirez \nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://ubc.zoom.us/meeting/register/u50kcu-hqzoqE9EtOCCgfDsnePbu4uRGHosJ \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nPapers:\nEmotional Responses to Archival Work: Preliminary Findings \nSpeakers:\n\nChrista Sato (Social Work\, University of Toronto)\nHenria Aton (Information\, University of Toronto)\nWendy Duff (Dean and Professor\, Information\, University of Toronto)\n\nAccessibility details:\nWe do not have anything in mind but would like to do anything we can to maximise the accessibility of our paper presentation. \nAbstract:\nAs co-witnesses to the lives and stories they archive\, archivists and archival scholars have the potential to be deeply affected by records\, especially those containing emotionally challenging or sensitive accounts of human suffering and survival. 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.

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? Yes \n  \nThe Changing Nature of Archival Instruction: Preparing Archivists and Faculty to Promote Student Learning Through Sustained Collaborations \nSpeakers:\n\nPelle Tracey\, School of Information\, University of Michigan\nPatricia Garcia\, School of Information\, University of Michigan\n\nAbstract:\nThe pedagogical benefits of teaching and learning with primary sources are changing the nature of archival instruction and expanding the role of archivists in undergraduate education. 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?

SUMMARY:Workshop: Becoming and Archivist in a Time of Uncertainty and Unrest: Teaching Introduction to Archives Courses in the Current Climate
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP: ‘Becoming an Archivist in a Time of Uncertainty and Unrest’: Teaching Introduction to Archives Courses in the Current Climate\nRegistration Information:\nRegister for this session and receive additional information at this link: https://umd.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qbWZOljHSSahuK7vKmjKBQ. \nSpeakers:\n\nCaitlin Christian-Lamb (PhD Candidate and Instructor of Record\, University of Maryland College of Information Studies)\nMarika Cifor (Assistant Professor\, University of Washington Information School)\nChelsea Gunn (Teaching Assistant Professor\, University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information)\nAdam Kriesberg (Assistant Professor\, Simmons University School of Library and Information Science)\nJamie A. Lee (Assistant Professor and Director of Graduate Studies\, University of Arizona School of Information)\n\nAccessibility details:\nWe are aiming to use AI captioning on Zoom during the workshop. \nAbstract:\nThis workshop aims to address a central issue in the archival community\, and one which many AERI participants confront regularly: the question of how to prepare future archivists to enter the field. 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

SUMMARY:Short Papers: Education
DESCRIPTION:SHORT PAPERS: THEME – EDUCATION\nChair: Karen Gracy \nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUscuCvrT0rE9WeBtC4OXW2khVB0covvK-9  \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.  \nPapers:\nGraduate Archival Education: Opportunities\, Challenges\, and Future Directions \nSpeakers:\n\nAlex Poole (Drexel University\, USA)\nJane Zhang (Catholic University of America\, USA)\nAshley Todd-Diaz (Towson University\, USA)\n\nAccessibility details:\nPowerPoint Slides \nAbstract:\nDrexel University’s College of Computing and Informatics (Alex Poole) in partnership with the Catholic University of America’s Department of Library and Information Science (Jane Zhang) has been awarded an IMLS Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program National Forum Grant. 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? Yes \nEnacting Solidarity in the Archival Classroom \nSpeakers:\nMaggie Schreiner\, New York University \nAccessibility details:\nLive captioning\, alt text for images in slideshow. 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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

DESCRIPTION:Identifying and enacting generous scholarly practice–the 2021 edition\nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://ubc.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5Mpcu-grDsvG9fBfcXtO9wCldyNQKr8El4H \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nPanel facilitators:\n\nMarika Cifor\nJennifer Douglas\nJamie A. 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.

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?

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.

Derived from the work of the Refugee Rights in Records (R3) Initiative at UCLA and CUNY\, and close collaboration and conversation with international organizations and initiatives such as the Rights in Records by Design project at Monash University\, the framework is a charter that sets out twenty rights based in broader human rights frameworks. In this workshop\, participants will be invited to explore what it would mean to prepare archivists and various stakeholders for records work that asserts and defends these rights. What are the pedagogical methods\, content and audiences that should be engaged to affect the design and operation of record-keeping environments that serve those marginalized in current systems? \nWill this session be recorded for the AERI2021 Youtube channel?

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.
