Video Recordings From DPLA: “Practical Approaches to Reparative Description: A Workshop Series with Wide Appeal”
From a DPLA Blog Post:
In Spring 2024, DPLA’s Metadata Working Group and Rights Statements Working Group produced Practical Approaches to Reparative Description, a workshop series designed for people working with cultural heritage data looking to deepen their understanding and practice of reparative description. Reparative description focuses on remediating or contextualizing potentially outdated or harmful language used in descriptive practices, ensuring accuracy and inclusivity (definition derived from Yale’s Reparative Archival Description).
The series was very well received, with each workshop averaging 600 registrants and 300 live views. The recording of each workshop is embedded below.
The Working Groups sincerely thank all of the presenters for sharing their stories and their projects. This series could not have happened without their help.
The post continues with descriptions and embeds of three three workshop video recordings:
- Representations of Gender and Sexuality in Metadata
- Local Contexts: Tools for Supporting Indigenous Rights and Interests in Collections
- Special Projects in Reparative and Inclusive Description
