Call for Participation: BIPOC Survey for iPRES 2025

[Ruby Martinez]

Dear DigiPres Community,

Three early career Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) digital preservation practitioners will be presenting their experiences at iPRES 2025 in New Zealand (Nov. 3-7) to an international audience. As part of our effort to bring our community with us, we are gathering testimonials from individuals at various stages in their careers.

While the term BIPOC is rooted in the racial context of the United States, we recognize that the experiences of our colleagues globally—particularly in the context of Indigeneity and decolonization—are deeply connected. We invite responses from BIPOC colleagues worldwide, including those outside North America.

Survey Details:

• Confidentiality: All quotes and references to respondents will be anonymized to protect privacy. You are more than welcome to share and complete the survey and still opt out of having your responses shared.
• Estimated Time: The survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.

Your voice matters! We greatly appreciate your participation in helping us amplify diverse experiences within the digital preservation field. 

Please complete the survey by Tuesday, September 30, 2025.

Many thanks, 

Ima O , Ruby M, Bree'ya B
