Special thanks to Archivist Meaghan Kahlo and the Seattle Public Schools Archives & Records Center for hosting the Winter 2023 Quarterly Meeting!
SeArch members ate popcorn and watched a short film about the history of Seattle Public Schools, pulled from clips of video and audio held in the archives. Archives staff gave SeArch members a tour of the reading room and the closed stacks.

Primary documents and artifacts are the building blocks for constructing historical narratives. However, the collections that house them have gaps mirroring the biases of society and curatorial practices. Whose stories are deemed significant and why? How can these omissions be addressed? Join curators, collections managers, and researchers for a discussion on building equitable history from the stacks.
We are excited to present this event in partnership with the Black Heritage Society of Washington State and the Labor Archives of Washington, and the Wing Luke Museum.
ASL Interpretation and CART captioning are available during the program. In addition, a limited number of Assistive Listening Devices are available upon request. For more accessibility support, email programs@mohai.org two weeks before the program.
If you can’t make it to the museum, tune in live on the MOHAI YouTube page to virtually attend this event.
