The panel examined the ways in which archivists have taken a reparative approach to legacy oral history collections in their stewardship, and the ways they see the work and practice evolving. As part of this panel, my paper explored reparative work through the lens of dialogue and critical inquiry in the reading room, including fostering transparency about archival interventions and collection provenance, and inviting critique of collections and collecting practices.Item Trans Archival Practice: Cultivating Public Memory, Investigating Professional Binaries(Library Juice Press, 2023-07-04) Faust, AidenThis is a story about coming out in the workplace at age forty while standing for tenure as library faculty.
