About this Event
ARCHIVE PARTY! 🪩✨
Welcome to a series of free social gatherings to learn and practice archival work. Join us as we catalogue our digital archives, vibe to music, and find community in the act of gathering.
ARCHIVE PARTY is an initiative to build a community of practice for Black memory work. Black memory work can be defined as the process of documenting, remembering, and honouring Black life. Come on this journey with us.

Your "archive" is a collection of information deemed valuable for long-term preservation. To "catalogue" this information is to make a systematic list of descriptions for each item. Please bring your digitized and born digital photographs on laptops, hard drives, USB, or cloud storage. We will use the free version of Airtable to catalogue our files: https://www.airtable.com/
Admission is Free, Registration is required. Priority is given to Black folks!
