Overview

Archives of contemporary science are challenged with long-term responsibilities to preserve the records of a wide array of scientific work. Archivists need to respond to the requirements for wider access, diversity in the composition of the archive, ethics of access, privacy, and use, and must balance care and efficiency in archival processing. To respond to these challenges, the 4th Workshop on Scientific Archives was hosted by the UCSF Library Archives and Special Collection on June 5 and June 6, 2024, in San Francisco. The workshop's program was developed by members of the Committee on the Contemporary Archives of Science and Technology of the International Council on Archives Section on University and Research Institution Archives (ICA-SUV). This edited volume presents the contributions from this international gathering, with essays that suggest ways of fostering collaboration, forging partnerships, and building interdisciplinary dialogue among archivists, researchers, museum professionals, data scientists, and other stakeholders from across the globe.
