Demystifying Research: Beyond the Archives: Exploring Community Collections and Data (Virtual Event)
Primary tabs
Many archives exist outside of universities and museums; there are community collections and digitized artifacts that are valuable resources for researchers. This is especially true for those who are focused on underrepresented populations. This panel will feature a roundtable discussion with librarians who have interfaced with archives, digital collections, data, and other materials about and/or produced by underrepresented global communities. Participants will share their experiences as well as recommendations for expanding your research to consider and include more diverse sources and voices. Finally, they will discuss ethics and best practices for engaging with these collections.
This event is being offered in a virtual format using Zoom. A zoom link will be shared with registrants no later than 24 hours of the event start time.
