This article addresses challenges inherent in collaborative archival projects involving both large institutions and small historical societies. It identifies these unique problems and outlines potential solutions to overcome these issues. Examples are drawn from the Portal to American Jewish History project and contextualized within the professional literature on ethnic or community archives and archival collaboration. This project collected metadata from a wide range of Jewish history archives and aggregated the records in a single searchable website.

D. McCrea
In 2012, a University of Montana student advocacy organization filed a complaint with the US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights stating that unequal access to the university’s electronic and information technologies (EIT) resulted in discrimination against students with disabilities. This article shares ways in which the University of Montana, including its archives and special collections, responded to the resulting mandate that “employees must create, obtain, and maintain all EIT in a manner that ensures it is accessible to individuals with disabilities.” The author argues that a professional and ethical commitment to diversity, access, and use compels archivists and colleagues in the cultural heritage community to increase their awareness of accessibility issues as they relate to electronic and information technologies, and to act to eliminate barriers experienced by their users with disabilities.

Prior to the 1990s, student interaction with archives was limited. K–12 educators often struggled to access archival materials and primary sources, especially because most archivists failed to include K–12 audiences in outreach and programming efforts. Digitization and the emergence of the Internet during the late twentieth century changed the relationship between K–12 students and archives. Educators and students now have access to millions of digital archives online, and most statewide education standards require students to engage with primary sources regularly. As a result, the archival literature devotes more time and space to discussing the relationship between K–12 students and archives. This article uses the Archive-It K–12 Web Archiving Program, which began as a partnership between the Library of Congress and the Internet Archive’s Archive-It service, as a case study in participatory archiving. The research relies on interviews with educators involved in the program, published reviews of the program, and a survey of archival and pedagogical scholarly literature. The article concludes that participatory archiving has academic and sociocultural benefits for K–12 students. Participating in archival processes increases students’ digital literacy and critical thinking skills, transforms their understanding of history and personal identity, and gives them a means of expressing their culture. The research is significant because it shows that K–12 students have a voice in the historical record, and it challenges archivists to develop more opportunities to allow these voices to be heard.
在20世纪90年代之前,学生与档案的互动是有限的。K-12教育工作者经常难以获得档案材料和原始资料,特别是因为大多数档案工作者未能将K-12的受众包括在推广和规划工作中。二十世纪后期,数字化和互联网的出现改变了K-12学生与档案之间的关系。教育工作者和学生现在可以在网上访问数以百万计的数字档案,大多数州的教育标准要求学生定期使用原始资源。因此,档案文献花了更多的时间和空间来讨论K-12学生与档案的关系。本文将Archive- it K-12网络存档项目作为参与式存档的案例研究,该项目最初是由美国国会图书馆和互联网档案馆的Archive- it服务合作开展的。这项研究依赖于对参与该项目的教育工作者的采访,对该项目发表的评论,以及对档案和教学学术文献的调查。本文的结论是,参与式档案对K-12学生有学术和社会文化上的好处。参与档案过程可以提高学生的数字素养和批判性思维技能,改变他们对历史和个人身份的理解,并为他们提供表达文化的手段。这项研究意义重大,因为它表明,K-12学生在历史记录中有发言权,它挑战档案保管员创造更多机会,让这些声音被听到。

This article examines a long-term collaboration between a nontribal and a tribal organization—Western Washington University and the Lummi Nation. The narrative describes efforts to share and understand the Native cultural resources acquired by the university in the years prior to the development of professional practices for the appropriate management and use of Native American archival materials and explores a series of moral and ethical challenges from both the Native and non-Native perspectives. The article offers strategies for sharing expertise, knowledge, and cultural resources that can assist in addressing historical injustices, misunderstandings, and mistrust founded in the misappropriation of Native heritage by non-Native institutions.
