Register now!
The Sound Image History speaker series celebrates the conclusion of a year-long Collections-as-Data grant funded project aimed at building a text-based data set from the archival AV materials in the UWM Archives. The UWM Libraries house the largest collection of LGBTQ+ historical and contemporary materials in Wisconsin, providing a rich record of Milwaukee’s LGBTQ+ communities. This project will make the AV materials in those collections – a format that is traditionally underutilized – much more discoverable and usable, and open pathways to new research. The LGBTQ+ AV Archive Mining Project, and this speaker series, are made possible by a grant from the Mellon-funded Collections as Data: Part to Whole initiative.
