*Subject:* [EXTERNAL] Special issue of Across the Disciplines: UNSETTLING
THE ARCHIVES published today!

With guest editors Gesa Kirsch, Walker Smith, Caitlin Burns Allen, and
Romeo García, Across the Disciplines is excited to publish the long-awaited
special issue Unsettling the Archives
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wac.colostate.edu/atd/__;!!DZ3fjg!rxk5TjxHueD7sJDkKxf03cdSs61_oHlSOBVdwi2zLh0gQEDh00M20WWfwLUUvyBnIthBjA$)
:

In this special double issue, authors explore what it means to
unsettle archival
research across the disciplines; reflect on how to respond to and
counteract and resist racist, colonial histories; and consider the prospect
of traversing reciprocal, community-based, and/or decolonial archival
practices. Contributors offer both critiques of archiving as a set of
institutional practices, ideologies, and conventions, and introduce nuanced
tactics of critical, communal, and digital archiving within and against
systems of power. As such, this special double issue initiates an important
cross-disciplinary conversation by bringing archivists, librarians, and
information scientists into dialogue with rhetorical scholars doing
archival work (see Rawson 2018, Caswell 2016).

In addition to introductions by the guest editors, the special issue
includes:

– Anna Culbertson & Amanda Lanthorne, “Praxis, Not Practice: The Ethics
of Consent and Privacy in 21st Century Archival Stewardship”
– Krista McCracken & Skylee-Storm Hogan, “Community First: Indigenous
Community-Based Archival Provenance”
– Alexandra deGraffenreid, “Reparative Processing of the Luis Alberto
Sánchez papers: Engaging the Conflict between Archival Values and Minimal
Processing Practices”
– Krystiana L. Krupa & Kelsey T. Grimm, “Archives Are Not Neutral:
Repatriation as a Decolonizing Practice in the Archaeological”
– Cynthia Engle, “Furniture Fit for a Queen: How a Table led the Way to
Building an Inclusive Community Approach to Archival Acquisitions”
– Chaitra M. Powell, Kimber Heinz, Kimber Thomas, & Alexandra Paz Cody,
“ A Continuum of Archival Custody: Community-Driven Projects as a Path
toward Equity in the Historical Record of the American South”
– Itza A. Carbajal, “Historical Metadata Debt: Confronting Colonial and
Racist Legacies Through a Post-Custodial Metadata Praxis”
– Tamara N. Rayan, “Archival Imperialism: Examining Israel’s Six Day War
Files in the Era of “Decolonization”
– Romeo García, “Building a Decolonial Archive: Decolonizing
Church-Settler Rhetoric”

Histories through a Digital Collection”
