The Women’s Collections Section of the Society of American Archivists prioritizes collaboration and engagement that is supportive and inclusive. In order to create a supportive and inclusive community that makes space for under-represented and historically marginalized voices, we ask that Section members:
Respect each other's privacy
Respect how people self-identify and the language that people choose to describe individual experiences, emotions, and circumstances;
Use gender-neutral language when addressing the group as a whole and respect pronouns;
Advocate to eradicate harmful stereotypes;
Listen actively;
Support learning;
Be open to giving and receiving feedback in a respectful manner;
Strive for self-awareness; and
Make our digital and physical spaces and resources maximally accessible.
