SUMMARY:Conversations on the Commons: Does it spark joy?
DESCRIPTION:Does It Spark Joy?\n \nMay 14\, 2021\, 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. \nDoes it spark joy? Historical organizations’ priorities change\, and storage is overflowing. How do we clean up without getting rid of that which the future will find necessary to know and see? Have you held a spring cleaning? Swept with new brooms? Created collecting policies and found ways to make them stick? Done a project to deaccession and donate or sell items that were previously in your collection? What about paying the fees on those endless gigabytes of digital storage? Join us for a conversation with Stacen Goldman\, Curator at the Framingham History Center\, and Elly Kalfus\, oral historian and founder of Organizing with empathy\, about the challenges and satisfactions of using the broom. \nRegistration is free. REGISTER HERE!\n \nThis Conversation will be livestreamed. We will do our best to monitor your questions and comments during the livestream. A recording will be publicly available in the Conversations on the Commons Archive. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Stacen Goldman has worked in local history for ten years\, and has been the Curator at the Framingham History Center for the past six. Her work is focused on democratizing historical collections and imagining creative ways of engaging with history through material culture. The goal of her work is to make people feel immersed\, empowered\, and emotionally invested in community history. Stacen holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Bard College and a Master of Arts in History with a certificate in Historical Agencies and Administration from Northeastern University. She was previously the director of the South End Historical Society in Boston.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				elly kalfus is a personal organizer\, oral historian and prison abolitionist. elly studied English at Brandeis University (2013)\, received a master of arts in oral history at Columbia University (2018). In 2019\, elly discovered how she could use her organizational skills and empathy to support individuals and organizations in deciding what they want to keep in their lives\, what they want to ethically get rid of\, and how to ensure their decisionmaking systems are serving them. elly founded Organizing with empathy (organizingempathy.com) and continues to do historical archiving and interviewing with incarcerated people through the Emancipation Initiative\, focused on amplifying incarcerated people’s voices in government.\n				\n		\n\nQuestions? Be in touch with Caroline Littlewood: commons@masshistoryalliance.org \n\nConversations on the Commons \nWhere people from Massachusetts history organizations get to vent\, empathize\, laugh\, complain\, think\, collaborate\, brainstorm\, plan\, and in general be up to no good.
