From Interrogation to Integration: Centering Social Justice in Special Collections, Archives, and Preservation by Kim Hoffman, digital curation and preservation librarian, co-editor.
June 19, 2026
(American Library Association, 2025).
“From their inception, special collections and archives have memorialized the lives of people in power, serving as a tool to preserve the status quo and perpetuate systemic oppression.” So notes this book, which collects case studies, research projects, lesson plans, stories, practical strategies, color illustrations, and accessible, low-cost solutions from authors who have grappled directly with the legacy of harm present in their own institutions.
Centering social justice in our daily practice and tasks is a form of resistance against external pressures. From Interrogation to Integration contributes to ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive, diverse, just, and equitable profession while acknowledging both the scale and complexity of that work.
