Abstract

Abstract:The staff in the Oregon Historical Society’s research library began a project in 2021 o update and improve selected collection guides for older collections. This work began as an effort to migrate existing collection guides into a new database but also provided an opportunity to reconsider descriptive practices in collection guides that might exclude marginalized people or present information in an incomplete, inaccurate, or harmful way. In this Research Note, OHS archivist Jeffrey Hayes describes the work to update the Marcus and Narcissa Whitman collection guide, which was informed by current best practices in writing library description as well as recent scholarship that has re-examined the Whitmans’ legacy.

Marcus和Narcissa Whitman收藏：OHS研究图书馆收藏指南的更新和改进

摘要：俄勒冈州历史学会研究图书馆的工作人员于2021年开始了一个项目，更新和改进旧藏品的精选收藏指南。这项工作一开始是为了将现有的收集指南迁移到一个新的数据库中，但也提供了一个机会来重新考虑收集指南中的描述性做法，这些做法可能会将边缘化人群排除在外，或以不完整、不准确或有害的方式提供信息。在这份研究报告中，OHS档案管理员Jeffrey Hayes描述了更新Marcus和Narcissa Whitman收藏指南的工作，该指南借鉴了当前编写图书馆描述的最佳实践，以及最近重新审查Whitmans遗产的奖学金。
