Abstract

This article examines the differences in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts between library collection development and archival practices, highlighting the unique challenges faced by archives, including dark archives, in achieving inclusive and balanced collections. The article also includes a case study describing the coverage audit performed by CLOCKSS in order to uncover areas where further development is needed in order to advance DEI in its archiving practices.
