Description: Students’ interest in social justice research has increased in the last few years. Archives provide compelling, personal, and time-specific materials, and these primary sources contain rich documentation on social justice issues which can also give researchers insight into how they may wish to address the same or similar issues in the present day. The presenters will draw on their experience as archivists and librarians at an HBCU to cover the value of archives and the importance of social justice in explaining how students and other researchers can effectively frame research questions, locate relevant archival sources, and analyze these sources by using analytical social justice frameworks. The presentation will conclude with a discussion on how to evaluate the effectiveness of student work.

He has been a librarian for the past 33 years. As the University Archivist, he ensures that the UDC archives operates as a user-centered and social justice-oriented repository. The collection, itself, documents the social justice contributions of UDC and its predecessor institutions and how this social justice commitment has changed over time. In addition, Prof. Anglim occasionally teaches academic writing for UDC's PhD program and Legal Research for UDC's law school. Over the years, he has served with various library organizations including the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Council (MARAC) and the Capital Area Business Librarians (CABL).
