From the systems archivists use to capture content for long-term care, to the ways we provide access to born-digital materials, practices in digital curation and preservation, when left unchecked, can replicate the same harms witnessed in the physical realm. Discussion about how information professionals can apply frameworks that support ethical curation and preservation in their real day to day operations seems to be at its nascent stages. This course will explore ethical frameworks and approaches in various disciplines, from community-centered initiatives, anti-racist principles, to radical empathy in archives, to lay the foundation for stewarding digital collections in a responsible manner.
