Archiving Social Movements & Building Historical Literacy for a Digital Age

该项目旨在调查档案馆和博物馆如何收集、编目和管理社会运动史。它意义重大，因为它将使这些历史可供参考，以形成公平和包容的公民文化。一个预期的结果是一种跨学科的方法，产生关于公民在塑造私人和公共收藏方面的作用的新知识，以及关于利用这些收藏塑造记忆和产生更广泛的历史素养的新知识。好处包括提供对包容性实物和数字收集做法的洞察，这使该项目能够实现教科文组织更多地参与关于文化、遗产和形成社会特性的决策的目标。

This project aims to investigate how the history of social movements has been collected, catalogued and curated by archives and museums. It is significant because it will make these histories available to form an equitable and inclusive civic culture. An expected outcome is an interdisciplinary approach producing new knowledge about citizens’ roles in shaping private and public collections, and about the use of these collections to shape memory and generate wider historical literacy. Benefits include providing insight into inclusive physical and digital collecting practices, which enables the project to address UNESCO’s goal of achieving greater access to decision-making about culture, heritage and the formation of social identities.
