Bridging Memory and Community: The Archivist’s Role Beyond the Repository Recently, I had the opportunity to discuss my ongoing World War II research and highlight archival materials from the East Carolina Manuscript Collection (ECMC) at several community libraries across eastern North Carolina. Partnering with my colleague and co-curator, we presented Remembering WWII Through the Power of Archives, a program designed to explore the lived realities of wartime through the lens of personal narratives and material culture preserved in the archives.

In this post, I reflect on a recent community presentation I was invited to give and how it reminded me of the important for archival outreach and community engagement beyond the research room #ArchivalOutreach #ArchivesMatter #WorldWarIIHistory #PublicHistory #CommunityEngagement
