About this Event
Every family has its own unique history, passed down from one generation to the next. How do we care for and preserve our personal, family, and community histories, especially when our stories have been silenced and unrepresented in history and archives? How do we keep our letters, photographs, and other artifacts safe and accessible for future generations?
In the second installment of our three-part workshop series, community members will learn how to scan archival material with the Labriola National American Indian Data Center on Saturday, February 20, 2021 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Palabras Bilingual Bookstore (906 W Roosevelt St, Phoenix, AZ 85007).
Each appointment session is approximately one hour long and includes a quick run-down of archival practices, basic tips for preserving and organizing objects, and an opportunity to digitize photographs, letters or other documents. ASU Library will offer free consultation services and can scan material as time permits (50 scans max per person). This will be scheduled by appointment with the Labriola Center staff and CDC guidelines will be enforced in all interactions.
Please note: while walk-ins are acceptable, attendees are strongly encouraged to make appointments. You don't need to have participated in previous workshops to attend. Attendees maintain complete ownership and control of their materials. As this is an Indigenous space, non-Native community members are kindly asked to refrain from attending, and are invited to join us for the Labriola Community Celebration on March 20, 2021.
