Does your community have diverse stories to tell, but you are unsure where to start?
Come learn how Tacoma Public Library undertook a project to broaden their existing local history collection by co-creating, with local organizations and partners, a new community archive that incorporates previously missing voices from underrepresented people of Tacoma. Hear practical strategies for undertaking the co-design process and learn about resources in the project toolkit to help you implement your own community archive.
This session will be useful whether you have an existing local history collection or are just starting out on building a community archive. During this moderated panel, each phase of the project and its related resources will be discussed, giving attendees a comprehensive overview of the process.
