Community-Centered Archives Practice: Transforming Education, Archives, and Community History (C-CAP TEACH)

This guide is for community organizations and the institutions that hope to partner with them to share their stories online. It provides an introduction to two forms of online sharing common among archives and libraries—aggregation websites and online storytelling — and suggests key questions for community organizations to consider before they decide to share their content online, or before they enter into a partnership with another organization or individual to do so. Sharing Your Stories Online also includes questions and resources for more well-resourced institutions interested in partnering with community organizations. The guide was produced as part of Community-Centered Archives Practice: Transforming Education, Archives and Community History (C-CAP TEACH), a Mellon-funded initiative led by the UCI Libraries Department of Special Collections & Archives — Orange County & Southeast Asian Archive Center.
