The Society of American Archivists created the Tragedy Response Initiative Task Force in January 2018 to assist cultural heritage professionals in responding to human-made tragedies and weather disasters. The Task Force’s work culminated in the creation of Documenting in Times of Crisis: A Resource Kit, which provides templates and documents to assist archivists in collecting materials on tragedies within their communities and the recommendation of a standing body to build upon this work. As a result, the Crisis, Disaster, and Tragedy Response Working Group was created in 2020 with one of its central charges being to maintain the resource kit.
As part of this work, the Working Group would like to hear directly from users about how they have used the resource kit.
