Abstract
Description
This chapter begins with a literature review that explores the relationship between the archives and library professions’ centering of whiteness and their implementation of description practices, including the A4BLiP group and its past and current projects, and describes the major challenges to implementing inclusive and ethical name description and name authority work in archival description. It concludes with preliminary proposals for implementing an anti-racist approach to name authorities and name access, taken from A4BLiP’s draft recommendations for anti-racist archival description.
