Archivist Liz 💾 (she/her)

I arrived in London for a two-day workshop. Not on #digipres, but on nuclear #fusion (and #archiving fusion projects)! I caught a beautiful early spring day and snapped the back of the Albert Memorial while walking in Kensington Gardens. Pretty cool!

#icabarcelona2025 Hope enables us to act. We are essential duty bearers for human rights - Trudy Huskamp Petersen

#icabarcelona2025 Archivists also need the authority to monitor compliance with retention schedules (and the responsibility to create records). If the archivists cannot enforce this, they may need to quit and/or inform the public

#icabarcelona2025 This doesn’t mean we need to save everything forever. We still need retention schedules. But we need to retain records for at least the length of time that the persons directly affected would reasonably need access to those records.

#icabarcelona2025 We need the training and authority to select records important for human rights for preservation

#icabarcelona2025 Appraisal decisions and hope: we hope we choose wisely. We must hope that we get decisions right around archives for human rights

#icabarcelona2025 hope for our archival institutions means solidarity with our users and researchers

#icabarcelona2025 Expansion of right to know laws, and expansion of archival institutions in all areas of life — not just state archives

cooperation with organizations concerned with the documentation of human experience and the use of that documentation for the benefit of mankind. #icabarcelona2025

#icabarcelona2025 They defined aims: regular conferences, international network open to archives from all countries, archival education, usage of archives, establish good practices, and…

#icabarcelona2025 ICA was born out of WW2. Many of the 9 men who meet to form the ICA were medievalists

# icabarcelona2025 1) Hope and the archival profession, 2) Hope and the archival institution, and 3) Hope and the Archives

#icabarcelona2025 Keynote from Trudy Huskamp Petersen: Hope as an Archivist’s Discipline. One of our fundamental responsibilities is to make decisions on what to preserve for the future

#icabarcelona2025 The museum aspects of the Prison Museum:

• transparency
• freedom of information

#icabarcelona2025 The Prisons Museum is both an archives and a museum. The
Archive aspects include:

• records scans
• Testimonies / transcripts
• graph-visualization

#icabarcelona2025 The portal is prisons.museum.

#icabarcelona2025 Shortly after the launch of the ISIS Prison Museum, the Assad regime fell, and the work began to document the prisons of the Syrian regime. They started with Sendaya prison, already 70 sites documented, 30 witness testimonies, and 100s of records scanned

#icabarcelona2025 The ISIS Prisons Museum began in 2017, website launched in 2024. ISIS Prisons Museum
Start 2017
• Over 100 prison, detention and mass grave sites documented
• Over 500 witness testimonies recorded
• Over 70,000 documents left behind by ISIS digitized

#icabarcelona2025 Last paper of the first session: Prisons Museum: An archive with (spatial) site-documentation, records and witness accounts

#icabarcelona2025 Really great project, that has moved from documentation to achieving sustainable development outcomes for the Moklen community, including access to opportunities for learning and using the Moklen language & defending land rights. The portal is here: www.arts.chula.ac.th/moklen/

#icabarcelona2025 The project working with the Moklen community in Thailand was challenging for several reasons. Moklen is endangered, and there is no written version of the language. Most of the cultural heritage is intangible. They agreed with the community on what to document

Last day of #icabarcelona2025, starting with a paper by Naya Sucha-xaya on efforts with Thailand's Moklen indigenous and marginalized sea people communities through the "Moklen Community Language and Culture Repository" project

Ending the day at #icabarcelona2025 in a workshop by @artefactual.com showing a prototype for Records in Common (RiC) in AtoM. This is definitely one for nerds, but it also makes RiC a little less intimidating

#icabarcelona2025 The second 🇧🇷 presentation was on a survey (?) of Brazilian archives on how well they fulfill requirements for trusted digital repositories (leaning on ISO 16363, Drambora, @nestornetzwerk.bsky.social , NDSA, Core Trust Seal). This was done in/by(?) the network Rede Cariniana
