Archiving Activism

Welcome!

Welcome! This guide in intended to help users document student and community activism.  Please use the tabs at left to navigate through advice on what to collect and ways to archive these materials either for yourself or with the intent to donate them to an archive.  

First and foremost, please make sure to respect the practices and rules of your fellow activists.  Ask permission if you want to take anything that you haven’t made yourself, and remember that not everyone wants to be photographed or filmed. Please support and respect each other.
