Starting Conversations: Community Archiving --- Archiving the Diaspora
Channel: New Mexico Humanities Council
Date: 2021-09-27

Our newest Starting Conversations series takes up the subject of Community Archiving. This series explores the methods and effects of public and communal archiving practices, especially in the context of the Manitos Community Memory Project, which is a community-built digital archive. Shane Flores facilitates this series with archivists, scholars, and students who have participated in the Manitos Project. 

"Archiving the Diaspora" is the first installment in this series and we're talking to Dr. Eric Romero and Dr. Trisha Martinez who are two academic scholars working toward building a more representative archive. 

The New Mexico Humanities Councils is a non-profit dedicated to exploring who we are, who we were and who we wish to be.
