“ Panel chat on Providing Equitable and Ethical access to Restricted Records

29 Oct 2024 8:07 AM | Melissa Pomeroy (Administrator)

SAA Privacy & Confidentiality section is hosting a panel Q&A exploring managing access restrictions in archives. Open to anyone, even non-SAA members, this panel is adapted from a session at Archives*Records 2024 for those who couldn’t join. 

A key tenet of archival work is providing access to the records we manage. Yet this is not always a straightforward process. This panel will ask archivists at York University, University of Colorado Boulder, and Minnesota Historical Society to discuss navigating legacy access restrictions, including the process of undertaking an institutional review of access restrictions and lessons learned, the digital repatriation of records, reimagining the role of record subjects in determining access to culturally sensitive records, and how to enact best practices for future acquisitions. There will be planned questions from a panel moderator followed by an opportunity with Q&A on the topic of managing access and access restrictions from the panelists.

Event will be on November 20th at 12:30pm Eastern time. Please register in advance to receive the zoom information.
