Peperzak thus became a later-in-life …

The Relation Of Archival Repair, Black Communities, And The American Healthcare System, Aaisha Haykal, Tabitha Y. Samuel

MUSC Conference Presentations

Historians and genealogists depend on records preserved in archival repositories and special collections libraries to provide the foundation of their research and scholarship. Systemic inadequacies in archival practice, including bias in the development of collections and the pitfalls of engagement, outreach, and advocacy to actively document and promote the work of archives and special collections libraries among potential stakeholders and interest-group communities, often contribute to archival silences, or gaps in the documentary record relating to historically marginalized communities. This is particularly significant in documenting the history of the ways Black communities have engaged with the American healthcare system as patients, …

Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria, se examina la intersección …
