Presenters will discuss challenges and promising practices in creating a digital repository for participatory community history using Vanport Mosaic as a case study. This grassroots effort is in its third year of capturing memories with Vanport survivors and sharing this history by presenting personal narratives and archival material at public events. This session will engage the audience in a reflection on the challenges that this project faces in building a truly accessible and discoverable archive.
