This three-webinar (each approximately 90 minutes in length) series will touch on various aspects of reparative description work, presented by archivists engaged in that work. The first session focuses on two projects related to the incarceration of Japanese American citizens during the second world war. Archivists involved in these projects reflect on their individual projects and provide a comparative perspective to see what variables can impact project decisions and to reinforce the notion that there are multiple ways to resolve issues. The second webinar focuses on one institution’s implementation of a reparative framework across their collections, including pragmatic approaches to policy development, procedures, workflows and documentation for the review and revision of legacy description. The final webinar focus is on a strategy for assessing your reparative description initiative. This will include an overview on the Maturity Model for Reparative Description created by Stephanie Luke and Sharon Mizota and will conclude with a conversation between presenters on how an adaptation of this model can be used to address challenges and opportunities in reparative description initiatives.
Librarians and archivists who want to delve deeper into discussions and strategies for repairing harmful descriptions of materials.
