Archives, Recordkeeping, and Social Justice expands the burgeoning
literature on archival social justice and impact. Illuminating how
diverse factors shape the relationship between archives,
recordkeeping systems, and recordkeepers, this book depicts
struggles for different social justice objectives. Discussions and
debates about social justice are playing out across many
disciplines, fields of practice, societal sectors, and governments,
and yet one dimension cross-cutting these actors and engagement
spaces has remained unexplored: the role of recordkeeping and
archiving. To clarify and elaborate this connection, this volume
provides a rigorous account of the engagement of archives and
records-and their keepers-in struggles for social justice. Drawing
upon multidisciplinary praxis and scholarship, contributors to the
volume examine social justice from historical and contemporary
perspectives and promote impact methodologies that align with
culturally responsive, democratic, Indigenous, and transformative
assessment. Underscoring the multiplicity of transformative social
justice impacts influenced by recordmaking, recordkeeping, and
archiving, the book presents nine case studies from around the
world that link the past to the present and offer pathways towards
a more just future. Archives, Recordkeeping, and Social Justice
will be an essential reading for researchers and students engaged
in the study of archives, truth and reconciliation processes,
social justice, and human rights. It should also be of great
interest to archivists, records managers, and information
professionals.
