<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In the wake of the George Floyd and Breonna Taylor murders, and in the spirit of protest that followed, the ArchivesSpace community began a conversation about what it could do to promote diversity and inclusion
while combating systemic racism in our field. That continuing conversation has led to a series of
<a href="https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/1737261057" title="/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/1737261057">
initiatives</a> that we will undertake in the coming years, including an <a href="https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/3053748225/Inclusive+Examples+Project">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">For this important project, ArchivesSpace is delighted to be working with Brittany Newberry of Georgia State University to update the examples provided in its workshop materials and test databases. We want
the examples to be more representative of the diverse institutions that use ArchivesSpace.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
