    S1: Life After MPLP?
    (2024-11-14) Wrubel, Ben; Parker, Elizabeth; Deng, Claire
    I firstly propose new terminology for these "Forced Indigenous Labor Schools"; whereas they are called FIBS by the Federal Investigative Report, I suggest "FILS" as "Forced Indigenous Labor Schools." I argue that these methods of cultural dispersion (and the "civilizing mission" as a whole) are rooted in values of whiteness, which include English literacy, Christianity, nationalism, racism, and "individualization" (or hard work). I also categorize numerous "memory relationships," which are the ways that the United States government, Indigenous tribes, FILS students, and their families think of one another, and indicate changes and continuities about these perceptions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I use newspapers from the Carlisle Industrial Training School and the Genoa Indian School to determine this information. I ultimately argue for further reconciliation efforts between the United States government and the Indigenous tribes and their affected family members.

    S7: A Backward Approach: The New Jersey State Archives' Electronic Records Program
    (2024-11-14) Maharjan, Tara; Marchetti, Danielle
    After 30 years of advocating for an electronic records program, the New Jersey State Archives finally succeeded in creating it in 2022--a daunting task, especially after decades of advocacy. Two archivists involved in the process will discuss the backwards approach taken during the program's creation, its current state, and their vision for its future. This presentation will offer attendees insights into the triumphs and hurdles encountered in implementing an electronic records program, as well as the archivists' strategic initiatives for expansion and ennhancement.

    S6: Oral Histories on the Fast Track
    (2024-11-14) Gathings, Jennifer; Dayrit Mayfield, Catherine
    This presentation was shared at the Fall 2024 virtual conference of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference (MARAC). The session consisted of two speakers: Jennifer Gathings and Catherine Dayrit Mayfield from University of Maryland. They presented about the principles and theory of oral history collections in archives as a form of documentary history within the context of community archives and elevating underrepresented peoples in archival repositories. Rethinking archival description of oral histories across the archival lifecycle was discussed to expedite access and reflect the individual nature of oral histories in a more ethical, narrator-centered way. Speakers shared a case study interview that served as a basis to develop new procedures from oral history accessioning through to metadata creation for online access. The need for updated guidance on consistent description that will benefit users was discussed as well as the advantages and challenges to this approach.
