The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Canada acknowledges the harm done by systemic racism and discrimination, and strives to ensure our archives is a welcoming, inclusive environment for archive patrons. We will work to help increase the representation of Indigenous, Black, and people of color within the library, archive, and museum profession through our training programs. We will review our finding aids and metadata to ensure that respectful language is used, including the preferred names used by Indigenous peoples.
We support the Society of American Archivists Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion https://www2.archivists.org/statements/saa-statement-on-diversity-equity-and-inclusion.
