Join us in a new informal discussion group among archivists that we are calling Community–Coffee–Cultures (CCC)! We’ll meet on the last Tuesday of every other month at 14:00 UTC, for anywhere between 45-60 minutes.
Some of you may remember a reading group that we started in 2020. We thought we’d do something slightly different for this next year. Thank you to all who participated in the reading group, and please feel free to continue joining us!
Our goals for Community–Coffee–Cultures (CCC) are…to build community, learn from varied cultures of practice around the world, and maybe have coffee (or other beverage of choice). We hope this will also be a way of fostering discussion and who knows, even collaboration. We are picking six broad themes to see how archives in different parts of the world think about these. Discussions are not structured, and they are not restricted to the theme during these meetings!
14:00 UTC | Last Tuesday of every other month
We realize this will not work for many in different parts of the world. If you’re interested and can’t make it because of the time, do email us and maybe you can also help run a parallel meeting at another time!
