Restorative justice is one of the most meaningful applications of archival work; the CRRJ project at Northeastern is an excellent example of that. I am honored to work alongside colleagues who help shape and grow the CRRJ’s Burnham-Nobles Digital Archive.
🎉 NOW LIVE! Our Burnham-Nobles Digital Archive v2.0 is now available to search 5,000 new documents, 275 new incidents, across 14 newly added US states and cities.
A huge congratulations to all involved @nusl.bsky.social Northeastern University Library and partners across the country.
