11am - 2pm: Share and digitize materials. Come anytime between 11am-1:15pm (last call to start digitizing). We will have 3 scanning stations.
The Community Archiving Day is organized and presented by EastSide's Community Archival Resource Project (CARP).
Join us for a Community Archiving Day at EastSide Arts Alliance! This event aims to celebrate and preserve the legacy and history of EastSide Arts Alliance and the strong community that has been the foundation.
We encourage everyone who has photographs, fliers, and other pieces of ephemera that relates to EastSide Arts Alliance to bring them and share your stories. These items will be digitized and become a part of EastSide’s Community Archival Resource Project (CARP), ensuring that our collective history is preserved for future generations.
What to Bring:
Photographs, fliers, posters, articles, or any other ephemera that is connected to EastSide Arts Alliance. Including Performances, Exhibitions, Workshops, Youth Education Programs, and Community Festivals.
Please do not bring a large quantity of items – We want to be able to accommodate everyone who comes by and have limited scanning stations and space.
Items related to EastSide Arts Alliance, including but not limited to:
LAIR Performances
Holla Back
Malcolm X Jazz Art Festival
Opening of EastSide Cultural Center
EastSide Community Organizing
Taller Tercer Mundo
Visual Element/Neighborhood Arts
What will happen with your items:
Members of the Community Archival Resource Project will digitize the items and they will become part of EastSide’s Digital Archive.
Digital copies will be provided via email through Google Drive and/or a flash drive. We will have flash drives on hand, but we encourage you to bring your own.
Moreover, this will be an opportunity to share your stories and memories with the community.
Join us and Share your Story!
Come and be a part of this important project. Let’s celebrate our past and ensure it’s remembered for the future.
