Spitballing some ways to expand this page...

Issues:

  • Digitization as a way to build or link community archives
  • Digital divide re: community members accessing their own material
  • Archival training
  • Community representation in the profession
  • Ethics of access
  • Capacity challenges (i.e. funding, disaster planning)

Examples of community archives:

  • South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA)
  • Polish Library and Archive
  • George Padmore Institute and Archive
  • Black Cultural Archive
  • rukus! the Black LGBT archive
  • Working Class Movement Library
  • Lesbian Herstory Archives
  • Lavender Library, Archives, and Cultural Exchange of Sacramento, Incorporated
  • Black History Archives (Virginia Commonwealth University & Virginia Union University) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claireht (talkcontribs) 21:23, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • this is just a few - there are so many!

Research & policy:

  • Indigenous Knowledge and Resource Management in Northern Australia
  • Bringing Them Home Report
  • Recommendation 53 from the Royal Commission into Deaths in Custody
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Protocols for libraries, archives and information services
  • Indigenous Intellectual Toolkit
  • Community archives and identities: documenting and sustaining community heritage
  • Trust and technology: Building archival systems for Indigenous oral memory
  • “To wake them up again”: Digital futures for the international diasporas of early ethnographic collections from Arnhem Land

Plans for assigned article contributions

[edit]

Potential Content
Having been assigned the Community archives article for editing, I plan to make the most of the great suggestions already posted to the Talk page, starting with the section marked "Issues," as listed above.

Potential Sources
I will also look more closely at the Woodward article I identified below and possibly search for a replacement. In terms of relevant, reliable sources, I will start with the following articles.

  • Jeannette Allis Bastian, “A Question of Custody: The Colonial Archives of the United States Virgin Islands,” American Archivist 64(1) (2001): 96-114.
  • Don Boadle, “Reinventing the Archive in a Virtual Environment: Australians and the Non-Custodial Management of Electronic Records,” Australian Academic & Research Libraries 35(3) (2004): 242-252.
  • Alexandra Eveleigh, “Participatory Archives,” In Currents of Archival Thinking, Terry Eastwood and Heather MacNeil, eds. (Libraries Unlimited, 2017): 299-325.
  • Rebecca Sheffield, “Community Archives,” In Currents of Archival Thinking, Terry Eastwood and Heather MacNeil, eds. (Libraries Unlimited, 2017): 351-376.

Question about the Woodward Source

[edit]

Is there an alternative reference to "Participatory Archiving: The next generation in archival methodology" by Eddie Woodward? This selection appears to be published as a feature entitled, "The Way I See It," which the publication describes as offering "reasoned and informed speculation or comment on relevant topics" but explicitly excluding "formal, theoretical, or research-oriented articles"[1]. A more fact-based, less opinionated piece may be preferable.
