The Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiatives (FADGI) is an effort by federal agencies to articulate a common set of technical guidelines, methods, and practices for digitized and born-digital historical archival, and cultural content. FADGI guidelines also take the guesswork out of determining which scanning technologies are the best. Find out why we are proud of our Three-Star Rating by FADGI. #fadgi #federalgovernment #archives

At the core of an archivist’s social responsibility is recognizing that the archival record is a cornerstone of cultural heritage. The archival record is not an exclusive domain; it is a shared cultural heritage, and archivists embrace their social responsibilities by establishing equitable, clearly defined policies and procedures for selecting, preserving, accessing, and using this invaluable resource. The archival record is a tangible connection to the past, a repository of stories, knowledge, and experiences that define our societies, institutions, and individuals. Archivists understand that they are the stewards of this heritage, entrusted with preserving it for current and future generations. Individuals and communities depend on archivists to ensure their memories are not lost. Archivists engage with diverse constituencies, each with its unique history and cultural identity. They work with community organizations, institutions, and individuals to collect, organize, and protect the materials that represent their collective memory.

This is a longer film (about 90 minutes), and an essential one for teaching history inclusively. “Unarchived” from National Film Board of Canada is a film that challenges traditional archival practices and encourages us to question what is not being told, to make space for diverse voices, and to build capacity for alternative archives. We can ask students powerful questions for critical thinking: “What are the silences or gaps in the historical record?” or “How would our understanding of Canada be different if all people were given an equal voice in the historical record? Consider pairing this film with a field trip to your local archives for your Canadian history course. http://bit.ly/45VEUb3

These posts on archival practice by Samantha Thompson PhD MLIS of Region of Peel Archives are always excellent — a great resource for archivists, but also written and presented in such a way to make them accessible by the general public (and thus an effective outreach/engagement and educational tool). I’m so glad to see this series make a comeback. 👏 https://lnkd.in/g4DpAzyg #archives #archivist #bestpractices
