Dear Colleagues,
The Graduate Archival Education Subcommittee (GAES) is leading the effort on a strategic priority of the Society of American Archivists to advocate for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) informed curriculum in graduate archival education programs. For this effort, we are developing a resource kit that archival educators can use to integrate DEIA concepts into their courses. These resources might include readings, videos, lesson plans, and rubrics for activities and assignments. A beginning list of these resources, compiled by GAES and the 2022-2023 Archival Educators' Section Steering Committee, is available at https://bit.ly/deia-in-archival-ed.
We are soliciting suggestions for resources to include in this kit from practitioners and educators in archives and adjacent fields. We are organizing the resource kit around the core archival functions (as articulated in the Guidelines for a Graduate Program in Archival Studies) to facilitate instructors in using the resource kit to supplement their existing courses. We believe that DEIA concepts are integral to all aspects of archival curriculum.
Please submit citations, URLs, or files for materials not available online using this form. Feel free to share this form with colleagues who may know of additional resources that should be included in the kit.
If you have any questions, please contact Colin Post (ccpost@uncg.edu), a member of the GAES.
