The nationwide Confederate monument "debate" has gained tremendous momentum over the last five years, with more and more cultural heritage institutions calling into question the existence of Lost Cause-era Confederate monuments on their premises. These conversations include a myriad of stakeholders: administration, students, minority groups, community members, facilities staff, faculty, direct descendants, and more. However, there is a silent stakeholder whose voices are not being amplified: Archivists. In my talk, I will present my study that explored five archivists’ experiences with Confederate monument contextualization, removal and/or relocation at the cultural heritage institutions where they work: the Maryland State Archives, Randolph College (Virginia), Duke University (North Carolina), the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
