Transparent recordkeeping that communities understand and trust is an essential component of addressing what policy experts call "wicked problems"--complex, ill-defined, and contentious societal challenges. This session examines three examples: recordkeeping tensions in police body-cams, the role of formal and informal records in refugee lives, and the need for longitudinal trusted climate data. We highlight how our field can help to address these problems, how they challenge archival thought and practice, and the importance of recordkeeping transparency in building trust.
