Date and Hour: Tuesday 8 June 2021, 17.00 - 18.00 CEST
Language: English. Interpretation to other languages will not be provided for this webinar.
In collaboration with the ICA New Professionals
Diversity and Inclusion explore how to challenge current archival theory and practice to make it more diverse and inclusive of different voices along with different histories.
Webinar Summary
Come meet this year's New Professional cohort and celebrate International Archives Week. We will be introducing our new survey on digitisation before it goes out to the wider community. Our survey looks at discussing how digitisation affects whose stories we tell, and how marginalised groups are often overlooked when organisations consider their digitisation strategy. We will be welcoming some guests to take part in the discussions and there will be a chance for everyone to ask questions and take part via the chat.
