Great event tonight and excellent way to kick off the New Year for PEA!
We were able to watch the GSU Archives video on Activism and Archives despite earlier "technical issues."
The panel was stimulating and touched on themes ranging from donor relations, trust, collaboration, advocacy and community outreach. Following the video we had a good discussion on aspects of archivists' relationships to activism, communities and advocacy. The discussion brought in viewpoints from all levels of archives, records management and library work for a dynamic and multifaceted exchange.
Special thanks to Crystal Rodgers for suggesting and organizing the material for tonight and introducing the Georgia State University Archives and providing background on their collections.
Special thanks to Anne Prahl and Pete Asch of the Oregon Jewish Museum for hosting the event.
And of course, special thanks to the members of PEA.
After the discussion we briefly talked about steering and programming for 2013, I'll send out an email in the next week or so and we'll set a time for a group meeting to talk about interests and projects moving forward.
Ideas, suggestions and proposals are always welcome.
