It is a collaborative initiative between Centro, the Dominican Studies Institute, and the Haitian Studies Institute, which brought together archivists, cultural workers, and community memory practitioners working with diaspora- and ethnic studies-focused archives. Attendees can learn about non-traditional diasporic archival practices, connect with others interested in diasporic memory work, and engage with the emotional, spiritual, and personal side of archiving. Through shared meals, public workshops, and collective zine-making, participants explored technical and ethical challenges of bilingual materials and community-centered approaches.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/archiving-home-a-community-of-practice-66617/", "official_url": "https://www.hunter.cuny.edu/event/archiving-home-a-community-of-practice/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/0a84445f7e8fb813475ded6b2ef1e7f6952a9e43f080a4c436a653cbadfe6285-600.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-14T10:00:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-14T17:00:00-05:00", "place": "Hunter College", "address": "Park Avenue 695, 10065 New York", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Volunteer Orientation", "start": "2026-11-16T19:00:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "Interference Archive", "address": "7th Street 314, 11215 Brooklyn", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "workshops-courses", "tags": ["community/volunteering", "society/activism"], "description": "A volunteer orientation for people who want to get involved in a volunteer-run community archive.
