Diversity in Archives

Diversity in archives refers to the active effort to include and represent a wide range of voices, voices, and experiences within the collection and preservation of historical records. It recognizes that history is made up of many perspectives, not just those traditionally documented. By diversifying archives, we ensure that marginalized or underrepresented groups—such as different cultures, races, genders, and communities—are acknowledged and preserved, fostering a more complete and inclusive understanding of history. This approach enriches the archive’s relevance and accuracy for all people.
