💖Who are we?
Our project team was composed of practicing archival and library staff and a group of academics who have archival, library, and research experience.
Tacoma Public Library (TPL) had an existing archive, the Northwest Room, that preserves and provides access to materials related to the history, people, places, and built environment of Tacoma, Washington and the South Sound region.
The Community Archives Center (CAC) at the TPL leverages existing professional and technical resources to address the gaps and silences existing in the local history record through a community-driven, participatory process.
The University of Washington Technology & Social Change Group (TASCHA) center explores the complex relationship between digital technologies and society, with a focus on marginalized groups, and public libraries as centers for individual learning and community development.
