For National Library Month, we're celebrating archives and the power of archival activism!

How can archival research become a tool of resistance? Teach students about the power of storykeeping as a form of activism and truth-telling with the 𝙐𝙣𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣 Learning Guide.

𝙐𝙣𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣 weaves together oral history, primary source documents and records, diaries, maps, and archival images to preserve voices that might otherwise have been lost into a multi-sensory experience.

The 𝙐𝙣𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣 Learning Guide explores how oral history and archival research are not just as academic exercises, but also tools of resistance and truth-telling. The lesson considers how preserving memory honors those whose stories have been historically silenced. For grades 6-12, adult/higher ed.

Sorry, but #NationalLibraryWeek is, for #PACSCL, #NationalLibraryMonth. The question of the month? What does a #specialcollection worker do? To start, we are leaders.
