Collaborative archival practice: Rethinking outreach, access, and reconciliation using Wikipedia
Abstract
Based on first-hand experience and concrete examples, the presentation outlines the use of Wikipedia as a tool for community engagement and as a way of improving the discoverability of archival content through collaboration. The panelists also discuss their practices relating to the development of Wikipedia pages about underrepresented peoples and communities. This includes a discussion of the education role Wikipedia and archivists can play relating to the residential school legacy, the TRC Calls to Action and reconciliation.
