Session Abstract

The University of Oregon Libraries and civil rights organization Don't Shoot Portland continue to use the art of collaboration to create access for the movement for Black Lives in institutional spaces. Utilizing our research on discrimination in public policy and institutional development has helped us communicate on oppression in systems of welfare, social services, and education. In this session, the presenters discuss our long term goals to facilitate community archiving within a post-custodial framework; liberate archives for social justice action; and build trust and transfer ownership between systematically marginalized communities and archives.
