[Commlist] Recording it Ourselves: A Day Event about DIY Cultures, Information, Archives and Heritage (online event)

*Recording it Ourselves: A Day Event about DIY Cultures, Information, 
Archives and Heritage
*
Recording It Ourselves is a day long knowledge sharing event about DIY 
cultures (we define DIY as grassroots and political cultures/practices – 
examples include grassroots spaces; music and zine making; blogging; 
podcasting; housing co-ops; activism etc) and archives, information 
and/or heritage.

Examples include collections in libraries and museums (for example, the 
Riot Grrrl Collection by Fales Library, grassroots-centred collections, 
e.g. black political activism at the George Padmore Institute) zine fair 
organisers working with museums and heritage organisations (North West 
Zine Fest and the People’s History Museum; Weirdo Zine Fest and the 
National Trust and Science Gallery London), and the setting up of 
physical and digital archives or libraries like the Manchester Digital 
Music Archive, Queer Zine Library, and Queer Zine Archive Project.

The event will be informal and we would like it to be different to 
academic conferences. You are very welcome to come along if you are 
involved in DIY cultures (maybe as a zine maker, organiser or musician), 
if you work or volunteer in an archive/library/museum of any type, or if 
you do research (in a university or in any other way). We would like the 
day to help people in each of these spaces to talk to each other, 
share/listen to experiences and information, and make connections that 
can support each other in our roles as organisers, creative people, 
researchers or workers in information roles.

The day will be hosted on Saturday 20th March 2021, from 09:30 – 18:00 
GMT on Zoom.

You can engage with the event on the day via Twitter @RecordOurselves or 
by using the hashtag #RIO21. You can also visit our website at
