Processing Growing Power
A new collection will soon be added to the UWM Archives—the Growing Power Records. Growing Power was established in 1998 as a Milwaukee-based, national not-for-profit organization with the goal of supporting the development of healthy community food systems. The Growing Power Records cover the establishment of Will’s Roadside Farm Market in 1993 through Growing Power’s closure in 2017. During Growing Power’s run, the founder and CEO, Will Allen, received numerous awards and speaking engagements, in addition to publishing his book The Good Food Revolution in 2012.
Like all archival collections, before the Growing Power Records could be made available for use by the public, it underwent processing. According to the Society of American Archivists (SAA), processing is “[t]he arrangement, description, and housing of archival materials for storage and use by patrons.” This also involves determining what to keep and what to discard.
The processing of the Growing Power Records is occurring in two rounds. In the first round, the contents were browsed for more obvious records to discard, like duplicates. In the second round, the contents are undergoing a more thorough examination, which includes decisions about the arrangement and labeling of folders. The selected contents are then being transferred into new folders and boxes. Once these decisions are finalized, the description of the collection, which includes its arrangement and contents list, will be entered into a finding aid to be published online. With this, the collection will be available for public use.
-Clare, UWM Archives Graduate Intern
I have been listening to and transcribing some interviews with contemporary witnesses from right after WWII. These interviews were recorded in their homes with a recorder. In the late 1980s. Some of them have a lot of noises etc. One in particular had a granddather clock that was the bane of my existence. But today. Today I struck gold. It first happened around 3 minutes in. The tiniest "Meeew". This cat was not super vocal, but the occassional "Mreow" and "Brrp" made both myself and the interviewer very happy.
I love you little cat. Thank you for making my day.
Fit test
For my upcoming visit to Scotty's Castle, I had to get fit tested for a respirator facepiece. I know...some of you are thinking "why do you need a respirator?!" Well, I'll be helping the archives/museum staff at Scotty's clean their stables which houses their museum collection. Unfortunately, pack rats have made their nests in the tables. And,....pack rats around here have Hanta virus. Bet you didn't know archivists have to get down and dirty sometimes.
