Professor Maylei Blackwell received a Chancellor’s Awards for Community Engaged Scholarship to create a class on community archiving and the history of the Zapotec diaspora. Because many of the first-generation migrants came in the 80s their materials (like treasure troves of VHS, community pubs, etc) are starting to decline and some community members are passing away. She taught a class in Winter 2021 about building an archive with these materials and is seeking support to scope the project needs including: digitizing the physical ephemera, hosting the digital collection (potentially in the UCLA Digital Library, ICPSR, or Social Sciences Dataverse platform), and selecting a forward-facing CMS.
