Put consent at the centre of knowledge documentation

Discuss the purpose before recording

Explain why documentation is proposed, who may use it and what form it may take. Knowledge holders should have space to ask questions and identify material they do not want included. An initial conversation is not the same as permission to publish.

Agree a review process

Discuss how the contributor will see the account and how corrections or concerns will be handled. Record the agreed boundaries in a form participants understand. Where other people or community knowledge are involved, further discussion may be needed.

Keep access deliberate

Preservation does not automatically mean unrestricted public access. Consider the intended users and the context needed to understand the material. TKRD connects knowledge capture with learning and transfer; thoughtful access arrangements help respect the people whose experience makes the record possible.
