In the wake of the George Floyd and Breonna Taylor murders, and in the spirit of protest that followed, the ArchivesSpace community began a conversation about what it could do to promote diversity and inclusion while combating systemic racism in our field. That continuing conversation has led to a series of initiatives that we will undertake in the coming years, including the ArchivesSpace Diversity Partnership.
The ArchivesSpace Diversity Partnership offers support for implementing the ArchivesSpace application to institutions that are themselves or primarily serve communities underrepresented in the ArchivesSpace community. Each participating institution is eligible for resources like membership, hosting, training, and user and technical support. This program launched with a small cohort of institutions for a three-year term beginning on July 1, 2021, and concluding on June 30, 2024. We recently announced that we will be enrolling a new cohort to begin on July 1, 2024. Learn how to apply and participate.
