While in the region, Dr. Levy will also visit Onondaga (Syracuse area) and Oneida (Utica area) territories to conduct interviews, do research at local historical societies and archives, and meet with tribal leaders, local property owners, and organizations to strengthen partnerships and prepare for the New York/Oneida episode of the Whose Land? podcast.
Milwaukee Community Archives Day
This event includes free hot brunch and assistance scanning, digitizing and organizing your personal and family collections (photographs, letters, keepsakes, etc). Professional archivists will be on hand to offer advice and assessment. The occasion is part of a community-based effort in Northside Milwaukee (and Metcalfe Park in particular) to preserve memories and stories of place, in particular of lost spaces where families once had homes, businesses or other experiences. It is an opportunity to build an authentic Community Archive to preserve for generations.
The event is so-sponsored by Metcalfe Park Community Bridges, the Wisconsin Black Historical Society, the Whose Land? Project, and the Wisconsin Humanities Council.
