We are excited to offer our "101" archiving course once again before year's end! Whether you're a chapter chair or secretary wondering how best to approach records, a comrade with a lot of socialist swag and no idea what to do with it, or just someone curious about how archives work, you're welcome to come to this online workshop where we discuss why we care about archives as socialists, best practices for starting an archive, and how institutions take in materials for socialist, left and labor archives.

Note that the Democracy Commission omnibus recommendations include a requirement for archiving minutes. We plan to offer a "deep dive" into digital archiving soon after the 101, but to start to dip your toes in, come by on October 29th!
