David A. Wallace

I am a Clinical Associate Professor and have been a full-time graduate level educator since 1997. I have published and presented in a wide range of professional forums, examining: recordkeeping and accountability; archiving and the shaping of the present and the past; archival social justice; freedom of information; government secrecy; professional ethics; electronic records management; and graduate archival education. I am: lead editor and contributor to Archives, Recordkeeping & Social Justice (2020); editor of a special double issue of Archival Science on “Archives and the Ethics of Memory Construction” (2011); co-editor of Archives and the Public Good: Accountability and Records in Modern Society (2002), and served as the series technical editor for twelve volumes of the National Security Archive's The Making of U.S. Policy series (1989-1992). I have consulted widely, including substantial associations with the South African History Archive’s Freedom of Information Programme, The Kresge Foundation, and Stories For Hope, an intergenerational storytelling NGO in Rwanda. Between 2015 – 2020 I was responsible faculty for UMSI's Global Information Engagement Program in Cape Town, South Africa.
