What’s an archive and community archivist? An archive is a time capsule and active space where past and present merge. It contains primary resources that preserve the history of several generations. An archivist appraises, arranges, describes, and preserves archives. Archiving is storytelling and you can be a Community Archivist! These toolkits can be used to reclaim and preserve history. ASU Library provides free Archive Starter Kits to the communities we serve (Latinx, Black, Asian and Pacific Islander, Indigenous, and LGBTQ). Please contact our team if you want a Starter Kit or if you want to borrow equipment to scan material or record an oral history interview. , Community-Driven Archives (CDA) Toolkits Archives 101 Resources to preserve your own history or lead an introduction to archives workshop.

Captions are being created and will be available soon. A conversation with Patty Berne, Reina Gossett, Kiyaan Abadani, and Malcolm Shanks. Moderated by India Harville. How are organizers and artists building cross-movement solidarity from an understanding that no one is disposable? How can we reclaim bodily autonomy, our right to exist in public space, and our liberatory visions of a world where all bodyminds are valued? As disabled and/or trans people whose bodies are pathologized and policed, how can we move together towards collective liberation? This conversation was recorded on May 11, 2017 in Oakland, CA. This event was organized in conjunction with the Trans Life and Liberation Art Series, an art exhibit on view at the event space. This event is sponsored by Sins Invalid, Peacock Rebellion, Barnard Center for Research on Women, and CultureStrike with support from Akonadi Foundation’s Beloved Community Fund and East Bay Fund for Artists.
