INF1005H / INF1006H: Information Workshop I & II Supporting Researchers Investigating Difficult Histories: A Relationship-Based Access System

Course Description: In the last decade scholars have highlighted the ways materials that document difficult histories can traumatize and cause pain to those who access them. This workshop investigates the components of an access system and the ways each element helps or hinder researchers investigating difficult histories. The course proposes a holistic view of an access system including the archival environment, finding aids and indexes, as well as the interactions among archivists and researchers. It will discuss a relationship-based access system grounded on the principles of \xe2\x80\x9crespect, honesty, wisdom, courage, humility, love and truth\xe2\x80\x9d, a temporal model of slow archives and the theoretical construct of an ethic of care. The assignments will involve the development of a relationship-based access rubric and a visit to a library or archives to evaluate their access system.
