Archives and Social Justice

Archives and social justice intersect by recognizing that records and historical materials reflect diverse communities and experiences. Prioritizing social justice involves making archives inclusive and equitable, ensuring marginalized groups' stories are preserved and accessible. This approach challenges historical biases, promotes representation, and supports community empowerment. By doing so, archives become tools for acknowledging injustices, fostering understanding, and advocating for equality, ultimately contributing to a more just and equitable society.
