Are you curious about using archives in your research or creative projects, but not sure how to go about it or make it a practice? Archival research can be daunting, with decentralized and varied systems of discovery and access. Archives can add rich information and analysis to your activism, art, journalism, writing, and other creative endeavors. Join my upcoming online class to be in community with others learning about how to use these valuable and fascinating resources.
Fun With Archives is a fun and interactive online workshop where you will learn how to:
- Identify relevant archives for your project by thinking like an archivist
- Work with archival materials in-person or through digital platforms
- Integrate archival materials into your creative and research projects
Registration is available now!
This workshop is scheduled for Tuesday October 29, 2024 at 4pm ET and will be delivered on Zoom. It is scheduled for 90-minutes with plenty of time for questions and answers, and tickets cost $79. If cost of attendance is a concern, please email Eira to discuss a barter or potential trade.
All workshop participants will receive a set of handouts, checklists, and other resources to use after the workshop. Please note that the workshop will not be recorded so we can allow space for people to ask candid questions.
Fun With Archives is taught by Eira Tansey, a professional archivist of over 15 years. Eira has previously worked as an archivist at Tulane University and the University of Cincinnati, and is the founder of Memory Rising, an archival services and consulting firm.
