If you would like to be emailed a PDF of the current edition, please fill in this form
Please consider carefully before sharing it with others. This essay contains frank discussion of sexual harassment and related sensitive themes.
This document is currently intended only for those considering engaging with archival materials released by A Low Hum, so they can make an informed decision knowing the processes I follow when deciding whom to include, as well as other archivists interested in applying accountability to their own processes.
This document is written in a personal, candid voice. It is not a legal statement, but a reflection of my own experiences, research, and evolving framework for accountability. Some sections are raw and emotional—this is a human perspective, not a sanitized report. This framework is a work in progress, open to critique, discussion, and improvement.
