This thesis explores the role of libraries and librarians in Black reparations in the United States. The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and Society of American Archivists (SAA) call us to action on reparations. Recent works have been written on archives and reparations and libraries and reparative justice, but only one scholarly inquiry into reparations and public libraries exists. The author is motivated by the racialized materiality of library resources and information access and the urgent application of this information to repair racialized material and social inequity. This novel research aims to understand the role of librarianship in reparations, examine earlier research, test a new qualitative method of analyzing data, and translate the findings into meaningful insights for praxis. BIPOC feminist theories are operationalized on reparations LibGuides and interviews with librarians. The literature review found that though libraries are doing reparative justice work, material reparations are not part of that picture. The study found reparations LibGuides pages helpful but scarce, underutilized, and show institutional caution around the topic; that reparations information is not requested in Black community ibraries; that the majority of librarians would lack a comprehensive understanding of the topic; and that librarians informed on reparations have certain characteristics that represent a needed area of competency. Results suggest that the materiality, gaze, and standpoint of reparations information can and should be measured; that community members and Black-helmed public and academic libraries can take the lead in proactively co-creating librarian competency education and access to a wider range of actionable reparations information.
