This workshop draws from the emerging area of community archives to present principles and protocols for ethically conducting community-engaged IS research with (rather than just about) minoritized communities. Based on a white paper (https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7v00k2qz) collaboratively authored between community archivists and archival studies scholars, the first half of the workshop will address the current state of academic research on community archives, its impact on communities represented and served by such organizations, and ways to envision and enact more equitable relationships moving forward. The second half of the workshop will give participants a chance to comment on the proposed principles and protocols for community-engaged research, apply them to their own research projects in LIS, and brainstorm about designing more equitable community-engaged research projects in LIS moving forward.
