However, utilizing an approach grounded in care ethics to construct a relationship between the metadata creator and the people who are the creators and subjects of the archival materials can provide better descriptive metadata. The improvement is focused on allowing digital archives to give people appearing in the archive the respect and attention they deserve, as well as providing important historical information to users. This paper details a concept-in-practice discussion of the employment of an approach grounded in care ethics on the remediation of …

Dissertations - ALL
The Lesbian Herstory Archives is the oldest and largest lesbian archives in the
world. This dissertation project examines the role of this community archive in
building, defining, redefining, and sustaining community over time. More
specifically, this dissertation seeks to explore the relationship between queer
archives and community through the following research questions:

Doing It Yourself: Special Collections As A Springboard For Personal, Critical Approaches To Information, Patrick Williams, Lucy D. Mulroney
