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.
Location: Microsoft Lakefront Pavilion
Cost: Free with Registration

Want to bring archival educational opportunities to your area? Want to connect archivists within your state or far-flung region? Want to bring a prominent archivist to your area to talk or maybe have them present over zoom? Want to hold an unconference around a hot-button archival issue?
Get money from the Continuing Education Fund! We’ve helped fund unconferences, SAA webinars and in-person workshops in the past. We’ve even helped fund a read-along book club for AK archivists.

Just email and we can work with you to get your continuing educational proposal off the ground.
