Abstract

Archival description and recordkeeping metadata more broadly can be instrumental in perpetrating, as well as in providing for recovery from and reconciliation regarding historical injustices and silences in the historical record. This paper argues that archivists have an ethical imperative to pursue descriptive mechanisms for representing both creator and co-creator worldviews and experiences, and supporting diverse user needs and concerns, within and relating to a given community of records. Drawing upon a study of professional and political discourse surrounding the development of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Data Archive (ATSIDA) that was conducted as part of the Metadata Archaeology Project, this paper discusses how acknowledging and incorporating co-creator rights and needs in description according to Indigenous protocols provides one approach to addressing this imperative. It concludes that further research and development is needed to identify whether such an approach might also support the interests and practices of other communities of records or whether a rethinking of archival descriptive practices and standards is necessary in order to address concerns about ethical and power differentials within the archival multiverse.
