    Practical Approaches to Reparative Description 

    DPLA's Metadata Working Group is pleased to announce a webinar series designed for people working with cultural heritage data looking to deepen their understanding and practice of reparative description. Reparative description focuses on remediating or contextualizing potentially outdated or harmful language used in descriptive practices, ensuring accuracy and inclusivity (definition derived from Yale's Reparative Archival Description).

    This series will cover a wide range of topics such as representations of gender and sexuality in cultural heritage data; description strategies for problematic collections, non-English language materials, and graphic images; and the use of Traditional Knowledge (TK) labels for indigenous cultural property.

    Through engaging presentations, discussions, and panels from invited speakers, participants will gain practical skills and insights to enhance their description workflows and promote a more just and inclusive environment.
    1. Thursday, April 18, at 1p ET: Representations of Gender and Sexuality in Metadata
    2. Thursday, April 25, at 2p ET: Tools for Supporting Indigenous Rights + Interests in Collections
    3. Friday, May 10, at 1p ET: Special Topics in Reparative and Inclusive Descriptions
