Documenting Community Movements On The Fly: A Case Study of Greensboro's BLM Demonstrations
In the Summer of 2020, during the COVID lockdown, people took to the streets of downtown Greensboro protesting the murder of George Floyd. Knowing they were witnessing history in the making, archivists and librarians at UNC Greensboro rapidly organized a project to document people and events in the city and Triad region of North Carolina. In this workshop, David Gwynn and Stacey Krim discuss how to quickly implement a digital collection to capture history as it unfolds.
This session was held on June 15, 2021 as part of NC LIVE's DEIA Learning Series.
