Intro to Personal and Community Archiving (DocLab Workshop Series)

This workshop invites participants to reflect on and share your experiences with personal and community archives. We ask you to bring an object or document that holds memory for you. These artifacts will help us ground and structure our discussion. No prior experience with archives is necessary – experienced memory workers and curious newcomers are welcome. This will be the first workshop in a series hosted by Documentation Lab at Prototype PGH. Visit www.doclabpgh.org for more info.

This event is free. If you are able, please donate ($10|| $20|| $50). This will help us continue to offer free events and workshops.

RSVP here at Eventbrite and show up at https://us06web.zoom.us/j/4546800271 when the workshop is scheduled to begin.
