Not entirely sure where to put this.... but I do wonder about BHL and connections to discussions around climate change and support of climate change research. BHL has participated in Earth Optimism events and perhaps should consider adopting principles aligned with Project_ARCC: https://projectarcc.org/ and similar groups, find opportunities to showcase the value of historical collections in supporting this science and predicting the future, and increase collection development, data and metadata work, etc in this area.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead

Founded on Earth Day in 2015, ProjectARCC is a community of archivists taking action on climate change. We believe that archivists, those responsible for the preservation of history for future generations, should be as passionate and concerned about preserving a habitable and safe planet for future generations.

We believe that archivists have a professional responsibility to:

archival collections from the impact of climate change
our professional carbon and ecological footprint
relevant collections to improve public awareness and understanding of climate change
this epochal moment in history for future research and understanding

Get involved!

These folks are BHL ambassadors. They can also provide inroads to their communities/organizations/subject areas. [JEC]

We have some inroads here, but there are more potentials, especially re: permissions titles, training, engagement, and generally finding ways for BHL to support active conservation efforts and SSPs (species survival plans) etc [JEC]

Partner Libraries are champions of BHL, but the organizations in which we work and the staffs that we serve (with some clear exceptions!) may view themselves more as customers and not as part of the community (contributors, advocates, supporters, etc). A potentially un- or under- tapped resource. [JEC]

Many community scientists (amateurs, citizen scientists, etc) active on platforms such as iNaturalist are grateful for access to the biodiversity literature, as it can otherwise be hard to find or get without an academic affiliation.

The SAOA collection is freely available at: https://www.jstor.org/site/saoa/
The South Asia Open Archives (SAOA), a subset of the South Asia Materials Project (SAMP), creates and maintains a collection of open access materials for the study of South Asia. This major collaborative initiative is aimed at addressing the current scarcity of digital resources pertinent to South Asian studies and at making collections more widely accessible both to North American scholars and to researchers worldwide.

SAOA (formerly SAMP OAI) addresses needs in all academic disciplines, from the humanities through the sciences. With an initial emphasis on colonial-era materials from South Asia, a carefully curated collection of resources will fill gaps in available online collections. Several criteria are used to select and prioritize resources for digitization, including:

Value to research;

Utility for a broad population of users;

Uniqueness (not available through other credible, sustainable sources);

At risk - due to condition, environmental or sociopolitical factors, or other threats;

Complementarity to other resources.

Please visit the Statement of Value to learn more about how SAOA provides demonstrable value to its members, partners, and the general public. The SAOA Five-Year Plan (FY21-25) and 2021 Annual Report provide additional details.

To become a member of SAOA, please submit the Participant Commitment Form to Samantha Abrams.

Elements of SAOA governance are to be found in the SAMP Prospectus, Five-Year Plan (linked above), and the Organizational Practices document.

To make a suggestion about content to digitize for inclusion in SAOA, please use this suggestion form.
