Please mark your calendar and plan to attend. In celebration of Black History Month and our 45th Anniversary a portion of the meeting will be devoted to community and personal archiving.
Both begin at home.
Family photo albums, church bulletins, block party flyers, handwritten notes, saved newspaper clippings, MMPCIA House Tour catalogs – these and more are all a part of our personal history, community history and the Mount Morris Park Historic districts larger story. During this meeting, we’ll explore both community archiving and personal archiving and how institutions and individuals alike can protect and organize their legacy history.
