About
A free hands-on Newberry workshop helps community groups organize, secure and preserve their records.
The Newberry’s workshop is unusually practical: it is designed for congregations, activist organizations, historical groups and other community organizations with records that need organizing and protection. Participants with little or no archival experience can begin building skills for preserving community identity and intergenerational memory.
What to expect
Plan for a focused, hands-on session at the Newberry Library from 10 AM to 12:30 PM. Bring an organizational perspective rather than expecting a general public lecture; the workshop is tailored to representatives and volunteers responsible for community records.
