Abstract

The Digital Archives and Marginalized Communities Project (DAMC) is a research collaboration that uses digital information systems to highlight and interrogate the complex and related topics of colonialism in Canada, violence against indigenous women and girls, and sex work. This paper explores how the project's interdisciplinary theoretical framework and methodology influence the development of digital archives that embed community ontologies and epistemologies into their overall design, organization, and record appraisal and description, while also meeting broader project anti-violence and social justice objectives.
