6/16: Ethical Collecting of Protest-Related Materials - tcassidy - 06-08-2020
From: VIVA ANNOUNCE - A conversation hosted by Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference (MARAC):
Ethical Collecting of Protest-Related Materials
To archivists and institutions who are considering collecting protest-related materials, there are important ethical considerations to be aware of, the most important of which is prioritizing the privacy and safety of protesters. It is also appropriate to NOT build protest-related collections if such collection building cannot be done mindfully, safely, and ethically so that they cannot be used to inflict harm. Institutions should also be aware that secondary trauma can be experienced by staff members processing these types of collections.
