Stories from the Field: Revealing Restricted Voices, A Love Canal Interview Redaction Project (Webinar) In-Person
This webinar will explore the complex journey of making previously restricted interviews with Love Canal residents accessible to researchers. Hope Dunbar & Saguna Shankar from the University at Buffalo will share their methodical approach to reviewing and redacting these sensitive 1970s testimonials, detailing how they navigated the intersecting challenges of legal requirements, privacy concerns, and ethical stewardship. Participants will learn about the partnership with UB's Department of Environment and Sustainability that informed this process, and discuss curation elements from the upcoming fall campus exhibit "Toxic Archives: Stories from Love Canal." This session offers valuable insights for archival professionals managing collections that contain sensitive personal information while trying to maximize their research value and historical significance.
