Mission
CAW Collective supports cultural heritage preservation by activating care in community-held collections and exchanging knowledge through training, networking opportunities, and the production and distribution of resources.
Community Values
CAW Collective is a community of practice. We educate through exchange, elevating community histories and increasing visibility to collections.
Social Justice Values Statement
CAW works in solidarity with communities who seek to take control (physical and/ or intellectual) of their audiovisual heritage. Our work is a reparative action —addressing the harm done by power imbalances in traditional archival production— by sharing resources and authority in the processing and care of audiovisual collections and by amplifying the voices of communities who have been historically excluded from the process of archival production.
