Archives are essential cultural infrastructure. From oral stories to hand inscribed annotations in books, from letters sent around the world to recipes kept at home, from clothing worn as part of a community to pamphlets for community advocacy, archives hold our collective memories. The changing federal priorities have shifted how we think of these resources. To help us understand why archives matter, this panel will discuss:

- How archives are accessed and used to advance research

- How archives are used differently by different humanities disciplines

You're invited to visit the "In Phases" exhibit by artist Capri Landi at the Downtown Phoenix campus Library. On display from May 25 until August 7, this exhibit is open during regular library hours. ASU students, faculty and staff can access the library with your Sun Card. For visitors, please email mkleihs@asu.edu to schedule a visit.

April is Poetry Month!  To celebrate, we'll be creating our own blackout poetry.  Blackout poetry is a mixture of poetry and art made by taking any form of printed text and blacking out the unwanted words to create a poem or statement. 

We'll have everything you need, including withdrawn books as the raw material for your poetry, but feel free to bring your own materials. 

We'll be located on the first floor of Hayden Library in the area by the south entrance.
