UC Irvine Libraries

Keynote for the Northwest Archivists Annual Meeting 2022 Virtual Conference. Reanimated social movements for liberation in the US and around the world at this historical moment should garner greater attention, care, and involvement by library and archival institutions. Starting from a recognition of our shared goals to advance a more inclusive cultural heritage, we propose a framework of C.A.R.E. approaches in community archives from our location in an institutional context. This presentation/conversation will situate our personal and professional commitments in community-centered archives practice and expand on the practical application of how we do this work alongside partners on our campus and organizations beyond.
