X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The 2026 Community History Seminar is a fr
 ee evening program hosted by the CALS DIY Memory Lab and Butler Center for
  Arkansas Studies. Designed especially for community-based organizations i
 n Central Arkansas\, the seminar supports groups with historically signifi
 cant or at-risk records\, particularly those documenting the experiences a
 nd histories of marginalized communities.</p>\n<p>This program creates a w
 elcoming space for community organizations and citizen archivists to learn
  practical skills for preserving\, describing\, and digitizing archival ma
 terials. Participants will also be introduced to accessible digital tools 
 that can help them share their histories through timelines\, digital maps\
 , and online community archives. Each participant will receive a starter k
 it with basic supplies to help begin or strengthen their community archivi
 ng work. The program consists of four in-person evening seminars\, each tw
 o hours long\, held in fall 2026. Participants will also have access to an
  online discussion space (Discord or Google Group\, based on participant p
 reference) where they can connect with one another and receive guidance fr
 om the instructors between sessions.</p>\n<p><strong>The same information 
 will be shared in the May 5 and May 16 sessions. Prospective applicants ne
 ed only to attend one session.</strong></p>\n<p><a href="https://robertsli
