Community-Centered Digital Collections & Digital Exhibitions: National Survey Results

Abstract

This report provides the findings of a study conducted as part of the project,Community-Centered Archives Practice: Transforming Education, Archives, and Community History, led by the University of California, Irvine Libraries in collaboration with the California Digital Library. It is intended to answer two main questions:1) How can regional and national digital collection aggregators (e.g., DPLA, the DPLAHubs Network, and other regional aggregators) work towards a more representative and inclusive aggregation; and 2) What is a responsible and inclusive digital exhibition framework that may amplify historically marginalized narratives? This report summarizes and contextualizes the national survey conducted as part of this research.
