The Oxford College Library\u2019s staff regularly collects material retained by divisions and departments across campus according to a detailed records retention schedule, as well as material that is historically relevant to the college that falls outside those retention rules. However, those rules and processes have not always accounted for the variety of records produced at all levels of the college, or prioritized the collection of records documenting the activities of individuals and groups that have made a significant impact on campus culture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Archives are further influenced by many external and internal factors, including major institutional goals, evolving professional guidelines, and storage considerations. However, individual biases also impact archival collections. College employees transferring records, and archivists and other library staff processing and maintaining them, make decisions influenced by their own beliefs, values, and prejudices that ultimately determine which records are preserved and how they are made accessible. The work of constructing narratives based on archival collections is impaired by collecting practices that, both intentionally and unintentionally, lead to historical gaps and archival silences.

They begin in 1988, when Black Student Alliance president Yolanda D. Carter formally presented a plaque commemorating 60 notable figures of Black history to Oxford Dean William H. Murdy, in recognition of Black History Month. The plaque was displayed for over twenty-five years and is now part of the Oxford College Archives art collection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Some of these items are part of the Local History Collection because they were selected for the collection by library staff. This is in contrast to most other student-related records, which are created and transferred to the Oxford College archives. It is important to consider how decisions made by college staff about what to save, and what to discard, have created the existing record of Oxford College\u2019s history.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/5&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/5&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/5&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;white&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1699037368814{margin-left: 120px !important;border-left-width: 3px !important;padding-bottom: 125px !important;border-left-color: #0c2340 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/5&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/5&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"color-primary\"><a class=\"btn btn-secondary btn-primary btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/exhibits.libraries.emory.edu\/the-work-is-never-finished\/reparative-description\/\">Continue through the exhibit<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row curly_section_title=&#8221;Introduction&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1707229686162{border-top-width: 10px !important;border-right-width: 10px !important;border-bottom-width: 10px !important;border-left-width: 10px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #f2f1f0 !important;border-left-color: #0c2340 !important;border-left-style: groove !important;border-right-color: #0c2340 !important;border-right-style: groove !important;border-top-color: #0c2340 !important;border-top-style: groove !important;border-bottom-color: #0c2340 !important;border-bottom-style: groove !important;border-radius: 1px !important;}&#8221;] Institutional archives n. a repository that holds records created or received by its parent institution &#8211; Society of American [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2546","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/exhibits.libraries.emory.edu\/the-work-is-never-finished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/exhibits.libraries.emory.edu\/the-work-is-never-finished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/exhibits.libraries.emory.edu\/the-work-is-never-finished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exhibits.libraries.emory.edu\/the-work-is-never-finished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exhibits.libraries.emory.edu\/the-work-is-never-finished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2546"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/exhibits.libraries.emory.edu\/the-work-is-never-finished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2546\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3127,"href":"https:\/\/exhibits.libraries.emory.edu\/the-work-is-never-finished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2546\/revisions\/3127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/exhibits.libraries.emory.edu\/the-work-is-never-finished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
