The Anti-Racist Description WG of A4BLiP is excited to announce the release of a user survey report on its Anti-Racist Description Resources! We hope folks find it helpful. https://t.co/v2ePYuPnDg
We're especially interested in hearing from those who identify as Black, Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQIA+, and/or a member of another group who has been harmed or excluded by traditional archival description and cataloging practices.
We thank everyone who participated in the survey, as well as the reviewers and funders who made the development of the Resources possible. You can reach us at [email protected].
