Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical role of archivists and volunteers in preserving and providing access to historical records, with a focus on the Bantayog ng mga Bayani digital library. The text explores the ethical and political imperatives of making this labor visible and valuing the care and commitment involved in memory work. Through archival ethnography, the authors examine the lived experiences and struggles of archivists, highlighting the importance of a feminist ethics of care approach. The chapter also discusses the challenges faced by Bantayog ng mga Bayani in sustaining its advocacy and fighting historical revisionism, as well as the institution's efforts to honor the martyrs and heroes of the Martial Law era in the Philippines. The authors argue that making archival labor visible is not just a matter of credit, but a political and ethical imperative that emphasizes the power and agency of archivists as memory workers.
