Practitioners who have worked to transform archives through community-led collecting, inclusive projects, and advocacy work discuss: What does decolonization mean for archives and people of color/new immigrants and the LGBTQIA? How can archives use, augment, or modify existing collections to increase representational belonging of marginalized groups? and How can institutions implement decolonization, equity, and inclusivity in projects, exhibits, and catalogs?
