Fall 2024: Dorothy Berry (NMAAHC), “The Johnson Publishing Company Archive in Process”

Dorothy Berry (Digital Curator, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture) originally delivered this talk at University of Pennsylvania's Workshop in the History of Material Texts on October 21, 2024. The full title is “Reading a Digital Collection: The Johnson Publishing Company Archive in Process.” Debates around the role of digitized special collections and archives often end in metaphysical concern about losing the physical experience of holding an object. Digital access is convenient and potentially reaches a broader audience, but the affective response of touching the book someone owned, or rifling through the letters someone wrote is felt as quite different from scrolling on a computer. This talk considers these concerns in relation to one of the largest records of Black popular culture in the twentieth century: the Johnson Publishing Company Archive. The Johnson Publishing Company Archive is a digital collection co-stewarded by the Getty Research Institute and the National Museum of African American History and Culture and will be shared with the public on a digital first access model. The project, still in process, provides an object lesson in the complications of digitization, material texts, and different kinds of access. Dorothy Berry currently serves as the Digital Curator for the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Her scholarly work focuses on the broad definitions of and access to Black archives and collections. Working as an archivist and digital special collections expert, she has led projects to more ethically describe and make discoverable archival collections. She received Library Journal’s “Movers and Shakers” award, as well as the Mark A. Greene Emerging Leader and Council Exemplary Service Awards from the Society of American Archivists. Her writing can be found in the Los Angeles Review of Books, The Public Domain Review, Lapham’s Quarterly, as well as with academic publishers.
