About the group
About the group
The Abolition in Special Collections (AbSC) group is a collective of library workers in archives and special collections interested in disrupting our involvement with policing, armed response, surveillance, and the prison industrial complex. The group seeks to catalyze a cultural shift and to interrogate legacy practices and attitudes that perpetuate oppression.
We are a subgroup of the Abolitionist Library Association and meet on a monthly basis. If you'd like to join the conversation and join our meetings, sign up for the group’s mailing list, visit https://lists.riseup.net/www/subscribe/abolition-in-special-collections
