<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) is pleased to announce the release of
<i>A Green New Deal for Archives</i>, by Eira Tansey, as the inaugural publication in the 2023 Pocket Burgundy series. Recognized by the Society of American Archivists (SAA) in 2019 for her outstanding contributions in addressing the impact of climate change
on archives, Tansey brings her expertise as an archivist, researcher, and consultant to the forefront in this groundbreaking publication. Download a free pdf at

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><i><span style="color:black">A Green New Deal for Archives</span></i><span style="color:black"> tackles the pressing challenges faced by archives globally, including the immediate and long-term risks associated with climate change and
inadequate staffing. Drawing inspiration from the U.S. New Deal of the Great Depression era, Tansey proposes a public policy program that intertwines both challenges and offers a blueprint for their resolution. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">As Tansey explains, “Archivists steward records that underpin countless aspects of our legal, civic, and cultural life. Archives are a foundational infrastructure for a democratic society and are a public good,
but the future of archives is profoundly threatened by climate change and a destabilized workforce. I review the historical precedent for major public support for archival work and sketch out a public policy blueprint for archives to ensure their future viability
and relevance. This publication argues that to ensure their continuity and survival, archives need significant public investment.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">While efforts to address the climate crisis have prompted calls for a Green New Deal, recent legislation has primarily focused on the built environment and energy infrastructure. Tansey contends that these measures
fall short of achieving the transformative change required. By referencing the original New Deal’s employment of numerous archivists, writers, librarians, teachers, musicians, and historians during the Great Depression, A Green New Deal for Archives aims to
inspire a comprehensive public policy program specifically tailored to the needs of archives.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
