Centering Community Collaboration: Perspectives on Participatory Archiving
ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2022: 86th Annual Meeting of the Society of American Archivists

Abstract
There is growing interest among archival institutions in planning participatory archiving events or projects where community members share photographs and stories and add them to a digital collection. While archivists know how to process and preserve collections, they are often less familiar with the community-engaged work these collaborative initiatives entail. Session panelists discuss the challenges and opportunities of this kind of work and encourage audience participation.
