In this workshop, Chicago State University Archivist, Raquel Flores-Clemons shared her work in documenting black communities, their narratives, and understanding the trauma systems of oppression place on individuals. We encouraged people to bring their own materials to learn more about different strategies to preserve them.

This workshop was a part of of an ongoing series with the Building Communities, Ending Violence project that explored the ways archiving plays a role in healing, understanding the power of narrative, and the emotional impact of trauma.
