We are so excited to share the exceptional work of our recent Project STAND fellows, who reimagined the traditional structure for collection development policies that currently fail to archive the fullness of a social movement and its activists in their current iteration within conventional academia spaces, specifically in BIPOC/ historically underrepresented communities that tend to focus primarily on trauma and not the full scope of multiple textures of a movement, the ebb and flow, the joy, pain, sunshine, laughter and rain (nod to Frankie Beverley and Maze). They were also asked to provide a rationale for new approaches/philosophies that move beyond Westernized or colonial approaches to archiving and preservation and discuss a reparative approach or another transformative lens. Additionally, they had to envision a dialogue explaining to a memory worker/archivist the materiality of archiving social movements in Black Indigenous and other marginalized communities and the student activists/allies connected to those communities. The fellows had to decide what they perceived as critical elements in telling richer histories— fuller stories! The one-week residency of phenomenally dope speakers and fellowshipping helped the community produce a transformative document. While there were moments of friction and tension, everyone came back together, stronger to produce something with a soul, heartfelt, accessible, meaningful, funny, and practical. The werk is not easy, but here is our gift to our community of supporters, believers, memory workers, archivists, neighbors, agitators, innovators, disruptors, fans, all things in between. Let this guide you in 2024 and beyond! For more information about the fellows and the residency click here! Thanks again to our fellows (below) and special thanks to Bernadette Birzer, Archivist for Collection Management and Digital Preservation at Tulane University, for the template design and creating the tutorial for our zine!
