Big thanks to @acls1919.bsky.social's Digital Justice grant for supporting DigitalArc and giving us the space to publish one of what we hope will be a few more articles/presentations focusing on the DigitalArc toolkit & platform.

@mdalmau.bsky.social & Vanessa Elias presented “La Casa at Indiana University Bloomington: Creating a Community-Driven Digital Archive in an Institutional Context” at the Latin American & Caribbean Digital Humanities Symposium at #uprrp ufdc.ufl.edu/IR00012355/0...

Partners opened GitHub accounts and practiced making their website look like it belonged to their community during the first of our three-part virtual workshop series. We choose to teach GitHub due to its stability, financial accessibility, and ease of use (after training, of course).

Midwest community leaders worked toward their digital archiving goals at the DigitalArc In-Person Workshop from May 31-June 1, 2025, in Bloomington, Indiana. The focus on this workshop was community and collections. See event highlights here: digitalarcplatform.github.io/highlights/

We back our commitment to community autonomy over their stories through six core values: community ownership, scaffolded learning, equity, sustainability, transparency, and a close attention to everyday histories. Read our complete list on our website: digitalarcplatform.github.io/values/

Hi, Bluesky, we are DigitalArc! 👋 Funded by @acls1919, we advance community-led archiving projects in the Midwest, offering communities options for exhibiting & managing their own stories. We believe communities, not just institutions, should decide how things appear in the historical record.
