Abstract
Description
The impact of colonization is immense, influencing everything from national governance to justice systems to the subject headings in our library catalogues. Decolonization efforts, broadly, are activities that are designed to ameliorate the negative impacts of colonization. DALAM, the University of the Arctic Thematic Network on the Decolonization of Arctic Library and Archives Metadata, is a network that focuses on library subject headings and classification systems, archival descriptions, and other metadata that are incorrect, culturally inappropriate, derogatory or otherwise unacceptable within polar libraries and archives.
