<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Looking at Vicarious Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care in Archives</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> by Rachel Weiher (she/her) Macalester College Collections archivist, and Erin McBrien (she/her)
curator of Upper Midwest Literary Archives at the University of Minnesota, looks at how to acknowledge vicarious trauma in university archives and special collections, as well as how to introduce discussions of this topic among archival staff. It will also
touch on how to begin addressing vicarious trauma’s impacts through a framework of trauma-informed care, specifically geared towards student workers. Rachel Weiher previously worked as a psychiatric counselor and has been working to bring the principles of
trauma informed care into archival work. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Vicarious trauma, also known as secondary trauma, is becoming increasingly recognized within the archival field as an occupational hazard. Archival materials can profoundly affect us as we process, uplift,
and contextualize our work. Many of these materials document histories of violence, oppression, displacement, and personal tragedy. They are vital to preserve and provide access to, but can be emotionally damaging to work with. As archivists, we are typically
not trained in trauma-informed care or self care, leading us to become more affected by trauma with fewer resources on how to cope with the negative effects. Acknowledging and discussing vicarious trauma can be challenging in an archival workplace, but is
key to moving towards trauma-informed practices.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> A trauma-informed framework in archives prioritizes creating a supportive environment for both researchers and archivists by integrating principles of safety, transparency, peer support, empowerment, and
cultural awareness. It creates strategies that promote well-being while ensuring responsible and ethical stewardship of sensitive materials. The session will conclude with the steps taken so far towards a model of trauma-informed archival practice, as well
as what is still needed for ideal implementation</span>.<o:p></o:p></p>
