Access & Equity

CNI is strongly committed to addressing issues regarding ethics, equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility throughout its work. These issues are appearing in a variety of complex, and sometimes surprising, contexts, ranging from the ways in which we choose to document the present (including traditionally undocumented or poorly documented communities); the ways in which we preserve, present, and contextualize the records of the past; the decisions about how we collect, use and preserve personal and community information, particularly involving students and research subjects; the balance between the integrity of the historical record and the right to be forgotten; the language and terminology that we use for description and discovery of information; the incorporation of accessibility in our content resources and information systems; and the use of new technologies such as machine learning for large-scale decision-making or information delivery. Examples of how these issues are highlighted at our meetings and in our work are collocated within this topic.
