The video Documenting Ferguson @mre1920 played at the beginning of her talk sent shivers down my spine https://t.co/xb2fcHzKvc #camlibs18

Documenting in real time - the Ferguson protests - 'if we don't document now we may never see them again'. This is not *normal* collection development but essential @mre1920 #camlibs18 https://t.co/8iWNDlSB1I

Omeka workflow to document Ferguson .. community contribution .. library set the infrastructure not involved in choosing what was archived .. Archive-It used to grab web/social resources
Documenting Now project .. Twitter Terms of Service don't allow collecting twitter datasets and sharing them http://www.docnow.io/ {clever workflow of "rehydrating" tweets from ID}
Librarians need to have a role in facilitating community archiving .. stop documenting the life and work of dead white men .. work with alive people not just the dead ..
Document now for later. #Camlibs18 @mre1920 pic.twitter.com/Oys704nkg4

Library involvement in the documenting Ferguson had significant impact: activists enrolled at Washington University, faculty changed content in their courses in response to what had been learnt through the project. #camlibs18

One really interesting aspect (of many) of @mre1920's work on Ferguson archive is that in terms of surveillance, it inadvertently provided organised intelligence for police and state, which needs to be managed #camlibs18

Lack of detailed / good quality description & metadata holds back to use and reuse of community generated projects like Documenting Ferguson .. still a role for curation!
Working with a part of the community in projects like Documenting Ferguson is work that redresses the existing/systemic imbalances of our collections
‘In the digital age, it’s not enough to buy back archives after the fact when history is being made every day’. Archive whilst the creator is living!👌 Inspiring keynote from @mre1920 #camlibs18

Maintaining the status quo, documenting&archiving only the traditional powerful, prestigious old white men (presidents, Nobel Prize winners) IS 'choosing a side', it is not a neutral decision, no less than documenting a fraught situation like the protests in Ferguson. #camlibs18

Special collections libraries can be intimidating to students - inductions and tours help to ease anxiety #camlibs18

#camlibs18 #futureprooflibrarians the things of value will remain: skills will be as important if not more so than knowledge! judgement, decision-making are human skills that cannot be automated.
