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? Or maybe you’ve started a project using archives and have hit a rut in your research — thinking where is all this leading, and where can I find more?
The world of archival research can be daunting. Methods of access are unfamiliar to new users. Records are found in the darndest places, and sometimes it feels like you have to have special knowledge to know where to start.
Join two seasoned archivists for FUN WITH ARCHIVES! on Tuesday October 20 from 4:00-5:30 PM Eastern. In this 90-minute session, participants can pitch their ideas or get advice (from both us and fellow participants) on how to move forward on in-progress projects. Learn from each other, find cool archives you can use in your research, meet likeminded researchers, and hear about emerging projects from your research peers.
Archival research can be used to build a better world. Archives add authenticity to journalism, activism, art, writing, and other creative endeavors. Join this event to explore or deepen your archival research practice.
We offer this workshop at a sliding scale price starting at $5. Registration will close on Sunday October 18. You will receive a calendar invitation and Zoom link within 7 days of registration. Contact Eira Tansey at hello@memoryrising.net
