Archives Alive! Activating Archives for Engagement & Equity
This document summarizes a presentation by Peggy Tran-Le, Linda Waterfield, and Gina Caprari on activating archives for engagement and equity. The presentation discussed how the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, UCSF Library Archives and Special Collections, and the Global Museum at San Francisco State University are making their archives more accessible and promoting diverse voices. This includes documenting film collections, creating finding aids, engaging students through classroom projects, developing exhibits featuring historical collections, and sharing archives online. The goal is to make archival materials more available and tell more inclusive stories.

These are the stories that need to be heard." "…Bascom’s essay about Duga of Imeko grew out of an accidental encounter…that encounter was very important. I wanted to view the film as it is the only evidence we have of the artist at work."
