AV Archives Night || Ensuring Access @ SAA 2014
Whether you’re attending SAA, live in the area, or just want to take a road
trip to Washington, DC, join us at the Black Cat DC for our first annual AV
Archives Night party. AVPreserve is hosting this free event to celebrate
the unique cultural heritage of DC, Baltimore, and northern Virginia as
told through audio and moving image materials. Archivists from around the
region will be showing off content from their collections ranging from
field recordings of folk music, to home movies, dance performances, and
maybe even some tunes from the local music scene. All of this is possible,
of course, because of the great work archivists do to preserve their
collections and make them accessible. Come revel in a DC landmark and
support your community. Hope to see you there.
When: Wednesday, August 13th, Doors at 8:00pm, Presentations after 9:00pm
(after the SAA Newcomers Reception)
Where: Black Cat Club, 1811 14th St. NW, Washington DC,
