We’re partnering with @radicalhoodlibrary and @madelyniinez owner and lead archivist of @ode2la, for a beautiful afternoon of preserving Black and local histories. We’ll be offering free digital archiving services for the community, while fostering intergenerational storytelling, memory sharing, and cultural preservation.

This program is great for anyone looking to start their digital archiving journey and those curious about maintaining a personal and family archive.

In times like these, we empower you to preserve Black history and Black voices. Have a family member or community member that could use some help starting their archiving journey? Bring them in!

This is a drop-in event, but please RSVP using the link in our bio!

Join us on Sunday, February 23rd from 1 PM - 4 PM for Black Family Archive: For the Love of LA! 💛

For those impacted by the Los Angeles fires, the loss or damage of family photographs can feel like losing a piece of your history. The Black Family Archive invites you to reconnect with your visual legacy by exploring the stories and experiences captured in your family images.

We’ll be offering:

1. Archiving sessions aimed to provide support and resources to help salvage, preserve, and protect these irreplaceable memories, ensuring that they are not lost to time or disaster.

2. Conservation sessions for smoke-damaged or dirty photographs and materials to learn how to properly salvage, clean, and preserve your important keepsakes.

Please note: These sessions are specifically for individuals whose homes have been affected by the Los Angeles fires. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize those in need of archiving support.

You can sign up for both archiving and conservation sessions using the links in our bio! 🔗 taken in Black Image Center by @ode2la
