What an important survey! I had the pleasure of working with Rachel Cristine Woody (collections specialist) on this article about building community archives: https://www.artworkarchive.com/blog/building-a-foundation-for-community-archives

Much of my work at Artwork Archive is working with community organizations to help them archive and digitize their collections and stories (my graduate work is in public humanities). Many of the communities I work with create online exhibitions with our Artwork Archive Exhibition tool like the Mask Alive Museum & Cultural Center which doesn't have a brick and mortar space but is a community nonprofit driven to share the mask making traditions of the Southwest. I can complete the survey, but am also happy to chat about the incredible projects I've witnessed in my work at Artwork Archive. 

All the best,
Elysian

Now open: Community-Centered Archives Survey: Sharing Your Content Online


We invite community-centered archives to participate in a survey about sharing content and collections online. We define community-centered archives (CCA) as organizations documenting the lives of underrepresented, marginalized, or disenfranchised people that typically reside outside of traditional academic and government-run cultural heritage institutions. 


We would also appreciate you forwarding this survey to CCAs in your networks.


Our survey seeks to understand the participation of community-centered 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 survey is being conducted by consultant Sharon Mizota 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 Sharon Mizota at [log in to unmask]. 


Thank you for your consideration,

Sharon Mizota, University of California Irvine, and California Digital Library


Start the survey.
