Preserve Your Co-op’s History (Archiving Workshop) | Preservar la historia de su cooperativa (Taller de Archivado)

Thursday, January 9, 2020 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM | Jueves 9 de enero, 2020 de 6:30 PM a 8:30 PM

When did we begin renovating our building? Who were the original residents? Have we ever received a grant? Your building likely has a collection of documents, photographs, emails, and more that can help answer these questions and tell the history of your building and your community. Join archivist Maggie Schreiner to learn easy tools and techniques to document, organize, and preserve the history of your building – both for the present and for the future.

Cuando empezamos renovando nuestro edificio? Quienes fueron los residentes originales? En algún momento hemos recibido una beca? Es probable que su edificio tenga una colección de documentos, fotografías, correos electrónicos y más que puedan ayudar a contestar estas preguntas y contar la historia de su edificio y su comunidad. Únanse con archivista Maggie Schreiner para aprender medios y métodos sencillos para documentar, organizar y preservar la historia de su edificio – para el presente y para el futuro.

Coming up at Interference Archive:

Prison Library Support Network Volunteer Orientation

Friday, January 24, 6:30-7:30pm

Join us for the first-ever volunteer orientation for Prison Library Support Network’s new Reference Project. After attending this orientation you will be able to remotely answer reference questions from people incarcerated in NYC correctional facilities.

What is this project about? While public libraries offer services to correctional facilities in NYC, they are not able to circulate their general collections in correctional facilities. Instead, librarians circulate books from a much smaller, more limited collection used exclusively inside jails and prisons. This results in library staff receiving requests and reference questions in person that relate to topics not covered by the library collection. In partnership with local public librarians who serve people incarcerated in NYC jails, PLSN has created a structure for volunteers (that’s you!) to remotely answer these kinds of reference requests with care and expertise.

Questions and more info: Please email plsn_nyc@protonmail.com with any questions. RSVP (optional) on our Meetup event page.
