Dear friends and colleagues,
Perhaps you have been curious to learn what XFR Collective
<https://xfrcollective.wordpress.com/> is all about? Perhaps you’ve heard
of our big beautiful rack
<https://xfrcollective.wordpress.com/portfolio/metro/> we built at the
Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO <https://metro.org/>)? Perhaps
you want to get more involved with XFR but don’t know how?
XFR Collective is hosting an open House on Thursday, June 14th from 7-9pm at
METRO.
Join us for some light refreshments, check out our workstation and watch
some videos we’ve digitized. Around 7:30 we’ll talk about what we have been
working on.
The address is: 599 11th Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10003
This event is free and open to the public when you RSVP:

XFR Collective is a non-profit organization that partners with artists,
activists, individuals, and groups to lower the barriers to preserving
at-risk audiovisual media – especially unseen, unheard, or marginalized
works – by providing low-cost digitization services and fostering a
community of support for archiving and access through education, research,
and cultural engagement.
Thanks!
XFR Collective Team
