A Practical Guidebook to Trauma Informed Archival Practice: Best Practices and Case Studies looks at trauma in archival work through various user perspectives. Understanding the different types of traumas that can be expressed leads to creating policies and workflows that can help reduce the harm caused by potentially traumatic collections.

The authors focus on ways to reduce and minimize trauma across archival work through highlighting:

- The right and wrong ways to work with grieving donors
- How to identify trauma in archival workers and support staff, volunteers, and students before, during, and after exposure to trauma
- Enumerating the many effects of trauma on the body and the brain and offering short term and long-term solutions

This book is the practical guide to dealing with trauma in archives that will help not only the archivists who work with these difficult collections, but also patrons, donors, and users who interact with them.

Arvustused

This collection offers powerful, concrete examples of trauma in archival work across varied perspectives and organizations. It provides invaluable insight for new archivists and much-needed validation for experienced professionals, while making important contributions to our field's ongoing conversations about archival labor. I recommend it to academics, archivists, and students alike! -- Leah T. Dudak, MLIS, Ph.D candidate at Syracuse University, USA and Community Care and Support Coordinator for Urban Librarians Unite A Practical Guidebook to Trauma-Informed Archival Practice is a beautiful meditation on the intersections of grief, memory, and forgetting. Each chapter shares a new facet in understanding trauma in archives, with representation from religious archives, indigenous archives, academic archives, managers, student workers, archival donors, and people accessing the archives. Reading this book is both instruction and invitation: to learn from many perspectives, to dream of a more person-centered and empathetic profession, and to find community in grief as an inevitable and shared experience. -- Lydia Tang, Senior Outreach and Engagement Coordinator, Lyrasis and former co-chair of the SAA Accessibility and Disability Section
