Abstract
This poster explores whether the resource mobilization theory (RMT) of social movements can serve as a tool for pursuing distributive justice in archives; distributive justice referring to the equitable access to resources necessary for sustainability, agency, and autonomy. Findings of this theoretical literature review indicate that social movement theories such as RMT can provide a valuable lens through which archivists may critically re-examine uneven resource distributions across organizational contexts, facilitating solidaric, accountable, and mutually beneficial relationships necessary to achieve transformative social change.
