Every day, we create history. From the photos we post and the videos we record to the stories we share on social media, our digital lives have become some of the most expansive archives of Black life ever created. But what happens to those memories over time? And how can we ensure they're preserved for future generations?
Just Archive It! is an accessible introduction to personal archiving that explores how everyday people can preserve their stories, family histories, and community memories. This virtual session will examine social media as a powerful form of contemporary archiving while offering practical strategies for saving digital content, organizing photographs and documents, and building personal archives that outlast changing platforms and technologies.
Whether you're documenting your family, your neighborhood, your creative work, or your everyday life, you'll leave with the tools to begin preserving your Black legacy—because today's posts are tomorrow's history.
