Pluralizing the Archival Paradigm: A Needs Assessment for Archival Education in Pacific Rim Communities, 2005-

Funded by the University of California Pacific Rim Research Project, this project comprises a series of planning research and development activities to promote 1) the development of culturally and politically sensitive education of qualified archival professionals in Pacific Rim communities, especially those which have no local archival education infrastructure; and 2) incorporation of the interests, needs and cultural beliefs and practices of diverse communities into existing, predominantly Eurocentric educational programs in the Pacific Rim area. The project represents collaboration between UCLA, Monash University in Melbourne, Australia and Renmin University of China.

Its key objectives are: 1) to identify key educational needs for specific regions in the Pacific Rim; 2) to identify what might be optimal delivery mechanisms for archival education in different communities and settings; and 3) to develop a set of recommendations for existing programs to ensure that they better address the diverse needs of a student base that may be drawn from across the Pacific Rim, as well as local indigenous and ethnic communities.
