SOIS Research Presentation: Archival Appraisal and Its Impact on Social Justice
March 27 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Synopsis:
Archival appraisal is an influential role that archives play in the creation of shaping social memory due to how it shapes the materials available in archives and thus the records available to potential researchers in the future. Appraisal decisions made by archivists can result in archives that are capable of supporting social justice in society if they stem, at least is part, from an awareness of the marginalization of certain members of society and are developed in a way considerate of how archives can support or further marginalize disempowered communities. This presentation will briefly define archival appraisal, social justice, and will discuss the connections between these two topics and how archives can address them.
