Summary
Archiving is not neutral, challenging power imbalances is key. This perspective informs digital preservation concepts for greater inclusivity.
Area of Science:
- Information Science
- Digital Curation
- Cultural Studies
Background:
- The perception of archiving as neutral is challenged by diversity and inclusion debates.
- Power imbalances within archival practices are increasingly recognized.
Discussion:
- Applying cultural humility necessitates continuous learning and critical examination of archival processes.
- Individual and organizational levels must address inherent biases in archiving.
Key Insights:
- Archival systems are not inherently unbiased.
- Cultural humility is essential for ethical digital preservation.
- Challenging power structures is crucial for inclusive archiving.
Outlook:
- Rethinking digital preservation concepts to incorporate principles of equity and justice.
- Developing new frameworks for archival practices that acknowledge and mitigate bias.
- Fostering ongoing dialogue on diversity, inclusion, and cultural humility in information science.

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Rhizaria are a diverse group of unicellular protists characterized by their threadlike cytoplasmic extensions known as pseudopodia. These structures aid in both locomotion and feeding, giving Rhizaria an amoeboid appearance. Their amoeboid morphology once led to taxonomic confusion, but molecular phylogenetics has clarified their evolutionary placement and emphasized their shared use of pseudopodia despite divergent lineages.This clade comprises diverse lineages such as Chlorarachniophyta,...

Alveolates are a group of organisms recognized by the presence of alveoli, which are cytoplasmic sacs located beneath the cell membrane. While their function remains uncertain, alveoli may help regulate water balance by controlling how much water enters and leaves the cell. In dinoflagellates, these structures may serve as armor plates. There are three major types of alveolates: ciliates, which move using cilia; dinoflagellates, which use flagella for movement; and apicomplexans, which are...

Excavata is a diverse group of protists that includes both chemoorganotrophic and phototrophic species, with some thriving in anaerobic environments. Among the key groups within Excavata are diplomonads and parabasalids, which are flagellated protists that lack mitochondria and chloroplasts. These microorganisms typically inhabit anoxic environments, such as the intestines of animals, where they exist either symbiotically or as parasites, relying on fermentation for energy production. Some...
