Keeping The Culture: Cookout Edition
Digitizing Your Family’s History through monthly archiving session
RSVP to attend
Cookout season is almost here! Join us for Keeping the Culture, our monthly hands-on workshop and hangout to demo our new community archive to amplify the rich, often under-recognized stories of Black communities in and around Baltimore, Maryland. This month’s theme is in honor of the sizzling summer cookouts we all remember - surrounded by family of all kinds, the smell of grilling food, sounds of kids and grown-ups playing their games, and music setting a vibe all day and into the night. Share your memories and artifacts with each other and add them to this community archive of our lives.
Bring up to three pictures or items on the theme and our UX Design & Engineer Lead Kameron Robinson will walk you through setting up your profile on the database and uploading and tagging the items. We will be on hand to describe the features that make the database the perfect community resource, answer your questions and hear your feedback/suggestions.
You can look forward to a signature cocktail, snacks and a deep groove to set the mood. RSVP required.
ABOUT BBDD
Black Baltimore Digital Database monthly digitizing sessions will have various themes centered around assisting Baltimore’s Black citizens on how to archive their own history - for themselves first and foremost - generating a vault of historical content owned exclusively by individual participants. For us, by us.
We have created a digital archiving platform that will make it easy for multigenerational citizens to access and execute uploading valued materials they can choose to share with other family members or the general population. In an effort to emphasize the importance of individuals being able to secure their data without the involvement of traditional institutions, this unique software design incorporates category structures, profiles, tags and other tools to make it easy to upload, search and recover personal data. In order to start your journey into your family’s BBDD account, you must attend an intro session at our CharmCCC headquarters.
You will always have access to your data and can terminate your membership at any time. These sessions will also include shared conversation surrounding each selection from participants as these social engagements will help the community and future generations understand the importance of safekeeping personal histories and the significant narratives attachment to the material you share with one another.
