It was the Southside United Neighborhood Association Reunion, and we were there to gather photo identifications, provide equipment for a youth history team to gather oral history interviews, and scan donations, as needed.&nbsp; Later that day, we’d move on to the Black Montford and Stumptown Neighborhood Reunion, setting up scanners again and making ourselves available for any neighbors to share their memories or mementos of community history.&nbsp;</p> <div class="wp-block-qi-blocks-single-image qodef-block-container qodef-block-4f693d93"> <div class="qi-block-single-image qodef-block qodef-m"></div> </div> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile"> <figure class="wp-block-media-text__media"> <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="620" src="https://archive-it.org/files/2024/07/southside-reunion.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-10442 size-full" srcset="https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/southside-reunion.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1024w,https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/southside-reunion-300x182.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 300w,https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/southside-reunion-768x465.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"> </figure> <div class="wp-block-media-text__content"> <p><em>Scanning table at the Southside United Neighborhood Association reunion, October 21, 2023.</em></p> </div> </div> <p>This was more than two decades since Buncombe County Public Libraries first began facilitating community-driven collecting efforts.

Even during pre-digitization eras, offering the opportunity to donate surrogate copies but keep originals was an important aspect of these efforts.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the 2000s, the local history collection for the library system was separated from general adult reference and became the North Carolina Room (now Buncombe County Special Collections).

Staff reflected that “The most important thing is to be prepared to be flexible and encounter some challenges along the way.” They didn’t know how right they were: March 2020 would suddenly pose a major challenge and require totally rethinking these plans.&nbsp;</p> <p>Volunteers essentially ceased, in part due to shifts in county policy because of liability, and in part because the pandemic shifted many people’s priorities. Collections that had been brought in through these projects stopped mid-processing, as library staff were called on to perform “other duties as assigned” including emergency community aid. It wouldn’t be until 2022 that we were able to really get back to regular public events.</p> <p>Lacking the capacity to host public programs, volunteers, and continuity with previous community archives projects, we were not sure how we could maintain momentum. In part, we worked on improving access to these past projects and our collections as a whole, but we also found that for people at home, there was interest in learning how to be <strong><em>active stewards of their personal and community histories, without pressure to donate to the library</em></strong>.&nbsp;The realization was driven in part by<a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=en-GB&amp;u=https://specialcollections.buncombecounty.org/carolina-record-shop/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> an artist project</a>: Honey Simone created a reading room exhibit that drew from materials collected during Black Asheville History Harvest events before the pandemic put a pause on future events, and included participatory elements like a “self-preservation” kit emphasizing the shared role that members of our community have in creating and sharing history. <strong><em>Everyone is an archivist,</em></strong> the project proclaimed–not to downplay professional archival expertise, but to encourage everyone to consider how they might be active stewards of the legacies that are important to them.&nbsp;</p> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile"> <figure class="wp-block-media-text__media"> <img decoding="async" width="1500" height="911" src="https://archive-it.org/files/2024/07/honey-simone-2021.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-10440 size-full" srcset="https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/honey-simone-2021.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1500w,https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/honey-simone-2021-300x182.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 300w,https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/honey-simone-2021-1024x622.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1024w,https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/honey-simone-2021-768x466.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px"> </figure> <div class="wp-block-media-text__content"> <p><em>Honey Simone in front of an installation focusing on the Black history of Asheville, 2021.

This might mean thinking of the library as a future public repository for their work, or it might not. If materials never come to us, we’ve still contributed to a community in which people have a better sense that what they do is part of a larger historical and communal context, and that what they create extends into the future.</li> <li>Providing access to and publicizing DIY resources so that anyone can create and preserve records of enduring value. This has taken the form of adding oral history backpacks and personal archiving backpacks to our library system’s “Library of Things,” providing access to a digitization station in our reading room, and hosting workshops about personal archiving (digital and physical).&nbsp;</li> <li>Working directly with community organizations to offer assistance as it is needed, where it is needed, rather than focusing on direct acquisitions to our collection. By placing a greater emphasis on stronger relationships with community organizations and other collecting institutions, we can more easily facilitate coordinated and post-custodial collection development efforts beyond our library.</li> </ul> <p>The original stated goals of the Black Asheville History Project, nascent in early 2020, was to acquire a certain percentage of material pertaining to Black history in Asheville. That is still a respectable goal, but to be honest, these days, we’re less about acquiring, and more about <strong><em>showing up</em></strong>. By shifting this focus, incidentally, we <em>are</em> increasing representation of diversity in the collection—and in our community at large–in sometimes unexpected ways.&nbsp;</p> <p>One way of “showing up” has been attending neighborhood reunions to contribute to their memory work. It’s a subtle shift from the scanning day/history harvest model, but importantly, in the service of the partnering organization. It’s worth noting that any materials collected from events like these are donated to the organization, not to the library; however, in both the Southside and Stumptown instances, the neighborhood associations have entrusted us to become stewards of their materials.</p> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile"> <figure class="wp-block-media-text__media"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="2160" height="576" src="https://archive-it.org/files/2024/07/O276-DS_web.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-10441 size-full" srcset="https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/O276-DS_web.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 2160w,https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/O276-DS_web-300x80.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 300w,https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/O276-DS_web-1024x273.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1024w,https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/O276-DS_web-768x205.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 768w,https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/O276-DS_web-1536x410.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1536w,https://archive--it-org.translate.goog/files/2024/07/O276-DS_web-2048x546.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2160px) 100vw, 2160px"> </figure> <div class="wp-block-media-text__content"> <p><br> &nbsp;<em>Attendees of the Stumptown Neighborhood Reunion, 1997.
