Still open for responses: Community-Centered Archives Survey: Sharing Your Content Online
Our survey about sharing content and collections online is still open! We'd like to hear from community-based archives and organizations doing archival projects that document the lives of marginalized people outside of traditional academic and government-run cultural heritage institutions. Our survey is accepting responses until December 31.
We would also appreciate you forwarding this survey to community-based organizations in your networks.
Our survey seeks to understand the participation of community-based archives in two online activities:
1) Contributing digital content to aggregation websites, such as the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA).
2) Creating online storytelling or exhibitions.
This information will be used to create a resource guide to collaboration between community-based organizations and other institutions to help them share their content and stories more widely and make aggregation sites and online exhibitions more inclusive.
This survey is conducted by me in collaboration with colleagues at the University of California Irvine and the California Digital Library as part of Community-Centered Archives Practice: Transforming Education, Archives, and Community History. It is funded by a grant from the Mellon Foundation.
Please direct any questions about this survey to me at sharon@sharonmizota.com.
Thank you for your consideration,
Sharon Mizota
