Workshop: Toward Community-Centered Reference
Date: Tuesday, January 28, 2025
Time: 9:30am - 12:00pm PST

Note: This workshop will held online and not be recorded.

*Workshop Description:*
This workshop considers the challenges Black researchers face when
consulting with reference services in archives. Led by Melissa Nelson,
participants will learn to think critically about their positionality and
their current approaches to providing access. Practical suggestions will be
offered to reference archivists to help them provide services that are
community-centered.

This workshop includes a small group activity and discussion with time for
reflection. In this workshop participants will:
- Learn how to unpack how white supremacy shows up in archives
- Learn how to identify and address oppressive practices in access and
reference
- Learn how to minimize harm when providing reference services

Participants will receive a takeaway package of relevant resources.
