Cross-Generational Engagement

Sustaining Community Archives’ Futures

About the Project

MISSION STATEMENT

Cross-generational Engagement: Sustaining Community Archives’ Futures is designed to help community archivists foster intergenerational connection, engagement, and communication to help bolster the long-term sustainability of their archives and communities. This resource takes an intersectional and inclusive approach towards fostering intergenerational communication.

This website provides:

  • Communication strategies for connecting across generational boundaries, as well as race, class, gender, sexuality boundaries.

  • Templates for outreach projects that are designed to foster intergenerational engagement.

  • Links to existing projects that bolster cross-generational connection.

  • Self-care resources so that we can sustain ourselves before showing up for our communities.
