ActArcs Host an Event for American Library Association’s Preservation Week

Kelly April 21, 2012 Events No Comments

What will happen to all of the audio, video, and physical material being produced around Occupy Wall Street?

How will we ensure that it is preserved for future generations?

Join the discussion

Come learn about some of the initiatives currently underway.

In association with the American Library Association’s Preservation Week initiative, Activist Archivists* will host a presentation and panel discussion focused on presenting our efforts, alongside the Occupy Wall Street Archives Working Group, to archive and preserve material related to the movement.

*Activist Archivists are a group of media archivists who aim to provide assistance on archiving and preservation matters in order to improve the discoverability of video that is being produced; to support the usability of video as evidence; to ensure that the rights and intentions of media creators are respected; and to ensure that the legacy of the OWS movement persists through open access.
