Abstract
This review of Decolonial Archival Futures asserts that the book is about colonial roots of Western archival practice, challenging traditional archival standards, and archival power. The book provides case studies from the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to demonstrate examples of recentering archival recordkeeping practices on Indigenous communities and post-custodial models of recordkeeping. Decolonial Archival Futures is highly recommended for any archivists working with records by our about Indigenous communities, as well as any information professionals interested in learning about challenging traditional archival paradigms.
