<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The Collective Responsibility project seeks to address the specific problems of precarity that grant-funded positions in digital library, archive, and museum
work create and reproduce, and how those positions impact the lives and careers of workers, particularly workers from marginalized and underrepresented populations.This handbook was developed from two forums in which current and former contingent workers collaborated
with the grant team, funder representatives, and LAM managers/administrators.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The handbook consists of an overview and introduction, two guidance documents, and a reference list of related documents. We anticipate expanding these recommendations
into a broader toolkit which gathers additional resources developed by the community. The initial documents are:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Evaluating Project Design for Worker Equity</span></i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">, a one-page document intended for use by those who want to support better positions in
the field but are unsure how to thoroughly review and provide feedback on position design. It is intended as a tool to empower both grant reviewers and those designing project positions. It includes questions to ask, resources for evaluation, and the principles
which shape the evaluation. Although focused on positions created through grant-funding, it can be used to review any contingent, term position.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Recommendations to Funders: Promoting Equitable Approaches to Project Staff Design</span></i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> provides granting organizations with concrete
application guidelines and recommended language that signal the critical importance of equitable and supportive labor conditions for contingent workers in grant projects. The document addresses each section of a conventional grant application and recommends
where appropriate language should be used.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
