Thanks to generous funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Community Archiving Workshop (CAW), in partnership with the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries and Museums (ATALM), supports efforts to preserve and improve access to audiovisual (film, video, audio) collections held by tribal archives and libraries by providing free workshops on audiovisual collections care.
Upcoming Workshop
In partnership with the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma the next Community Archiving Workshop takes place April 12 in Wyandotte, OK. The workshop is free of charge, but registration is limited. Learn more here.
About CAW
The purpose of the CAW workshops is to train tribal librarians and archivists on the handling and care of audiovisual collections, to engage local community members in processing and describing their community’s audiovisual assets, and to process a small collection of recordings in preparation for preservation. Participants also learn how to set up and use a basic digitization station. The collaborative workshop model encourages the development of regional partnerships who can work together and support each other long after the workshop is over.
