How to Cite and Credit

Use of these materials should be accompanied by an appropriate citation, acknowledging the Remote Access Archive and the creators of the material. We have created a community citation format to reflect that this is a community archive. This means that our citation includes information about the collective that produced the archive, as well as who referred you to the collection or items. This helps us understand how the archival materials are used. Including referral history means that we can also trace how archival items are circulating in networks and relations.
