Community Voices: Libraries Involved in the Multimedia Gathering, Sharing or Preservation of Stories Lived in their own Neighborhoods, Towns, Cities and Counties
to
Library shelves are full of commercially published stories. However, the communities that libraries serve also contain stories – rich tapestries of feelings, impressions, images, activities, memories, and personal histories that are part of the everyday life of a community. Many of these voices have not been traditionally well represented in library collections – especially the stories of people of color, the LGBTQ community, people with disabilities, immigrants and refugees. This program will look at ways libraries have developed multimedia projects or digital archiving services to help ensure these stories are not lost.
