Pre-conference Workshop: Indigeneity and Archives 

Date: May 8, 2019 

Time: 9:00am to 4:00pm

Location: Room TBA, Kente Building, Loyalist College, Belleville, Ontario

Registration: TBA 

Description: 

Participants will look at how to ensure policies and best practices comply with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. For example, records that attest to Indigenous knowledge may be held in archives without the context in which these records can be understood and remain living cultural expressions. Issues related to informed consent, cultural protection, copyright and subject headings will be surveyed.
