If you're based in the US #South and you do memory work (broadly defined to include any work to save the memory of social justice organizations), we'd love to hear about your work, your success, and your challenges.

Hi Friends!

I'm part of a new project with lots of rad #archivists, #OralHistorians, #publicHistorians, and others:

The Southern Memory Workers Collaborative

The central idea is that our #movements need #memoryworkers now more than ever. However, the barriers to learning the skills of #archival science, #oralhistory, and related fields remain significant, especially in the #Southern U.S.

We're looking for ways to increase capacity in the region.

Hey friends! Hope you're staying warm and doing as well as we can be doing these days.

Over here at LJP, we've been setting up #book events

The growing list, along with registration links, is here: https://litwinbooks.com/book-launches-spring-2025/

Hope you'll join us!

“At this critical moment, we must put our tools as #information workers to use. Support for Israel’s present actions builds on a surging wave of #disinformation, the latest in a longstanding campaign to normalize Israeli #colonization and #violence. Those of us who live in countries providing support to Israel have a special obligation to strengthen our media literacy and dispel misinformation.”

My first several jobs in #archives were term positions, and that really sucked.

Excited to read though “Best Practices for Archival Term Positions,” which was just endorsed by the Society of American #Archivists

“At the foundation of this document is the recognition that temporary #labor is detrimental to employees, as well as to #sustainable and holistic #collection stewardship.”
