Many archives exist outside of universities and museums; there are community collections and digitized artifacts that are valuable resources for researchers. This is especially true for those who are focused on underrepresented populations. This panel will feature a roundtable discussion with librarians who have interfaced with archives, digital collections, data, and other materials about and/or produced by underrepresented global communities. Participants will share their experiences as well as recommendations for expanding your research to consider and include more diverse sources and voices. Finally, they will discuss ethics and best practices for engaging with these collections.

About the Series: 

Does the research process seem mysterious or overwhelming? We are here to help! There are a number of upcoming workshops that provide an overview of research concepts, such as organizing your notes, creating a citation tracking system, breaking down the process of planning a research project, figuring out how to prioritize the many unfinished tasks, tips for negotiating your first research article publication rights, among others. Sign up for one or sign up for several.
