Translations:Outreach and Social Activism: Archive in Action/9/en

Therefore, developing an Outreach Strategy that describes your outreach goals, beneficiaries, and plan of activities—one that can pay back multiple dividends—would clearly be a good investment of time. Outreach and other external activities of the archive are not only a way to achieve our activism goals—be it to inform, educate, raise awareness or seek truth, accountability, or reparations—but also to make them more feasible and attainable. An archive with a bigger presence and impact in the community, with wider visibility and credibility, will be more likely to engage a whole range of actors necessary for its long-term sustainability. This includes expert staff, users, CSOs, and other partners, donors, teachers, students, universities, supporters, mentors, journalists, and others who can and need to contribute to a digital archive’s successful creation, maintenance, and development; to its continuing life cycle.
