【 摘 要 】

This article explores the implications of active collecting, concluding that active collecting needs a framework of support. We use our COVID-19 project launched at the University of Louisville as a reflection on the role of active collecting as reframed by the movement for racial justice. We propose this framework be formed by critical reflection, institutional affirmation, and an ethic of care.
