AzLA PD Monthly Webinar Series
Please join us for the September webinar, Developing Community-Driven Archival Collections with Jessica Salow and Alana Varner.
Register at https://attendee.gotowebinar.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
Program Description: Latinx, Black, Asian & Pacific Islander and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) communities currently make up over 42% of Arizona's population, but each of these communities are only represented in 0-2% of known archival collections. In order to address this inequity and erasure of these marginalized communities, Arizona State University (ASU) Library, with the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which provided funding for a three-year project starting in 2017, designed an initiative to co-develop authentic and inclusive community-driven archival collections in Arizona. This initiative which builds relationships with historically marginalized communities seeks to center the lived experiences and knowledge of these community members by creating intergenerational and intersectional safe spaces to support lifelong learning. We aim to not only acknowledge the historical trauma of these communities but to support them in healing projects, led by community members and advocate for the equal ownership of archives and the shared stewardship of responsibilities when it comes to these projects. We work with communities to redefine the traditional definition and function of an archive by providing free access to archival supplies and library resources that will help communities preserve their stories for future generations.
Share your expertise and experience. The AzLA Professional Development Committee Monthly Webinar Series is back, and we want you. Submit your webinar proposal here. Submissions will be considered on a monthly basis.
The Professional Development Committee wants to add more voices to our group. If you are ready to help shape the direction of AzLA professional development, contact Patty Jimenez at development@azla.org. We are interested in adding librarians from all types of libraries, from all over Arizona.
