The cave protection act of 2013.

2 Items
"'The cave protection act of 2013' explores the meaning we insert into situations where direction in the form of signifiers is missing. The idea for the project came from a documentary about Centralia, Pennsylvania. This mining town was destroyed when an underground fire broke out, creating sinkholes and sucking the town into the earth. I reference these events in the text ... I respond to how Centralia developed a strong identity because of its erasure ... I worked from the text of 'The Federal Cave Protection Act of 1988', an oddly poetic bureaucratic document created to give sanctuary to bits of earth no longer present ... The piece's aesthetic echoes that of government documents in its tabbed pages, hierarchical information organization, and machine generated illustration"--Artist's statement at the Vamp & Tramp Booksellers' website, viewed on April 22, 2015.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
